    Do any of you actually use Dahua P2P for external access to your cams?

    To clarify and explain my network configuration, I received an optical ZTE ONT F680 router with a public static IP address from the provider, and behind it for my local network I use my TP-Link Archer AX73, on which I enabled OpenVPN Server. I didn't forward the port on the Archer AX73, but I...

    Do any of you actually use Dahua P2P for external access to your cams?

    Also disable upnp on the router and ensure there are no ports that have been forwarded.

    Do any of you actually use Dahua P2P for external access to your cams?

    I have set it to go via OpenVPN to be able to view and access externally (outside my local network), and I no longer use P2P: 1. I turned off the P2P service on my NVR. 2. On my TP-Link Archer AX73 router, I enabled OpenVPN Server and then generated and exported a configuration file that I...

    Divulging to much info on here

    Thanks for the hints. I do run openvpn, and use that for remote access. Its a better solution than putting services directly on the internet. I should update to wireguard one day, time permitting. I have tried blue iris, that was no good. The biggest problem was the CPU consumption, and the...

    NVR with limited data budget - can anyone help?

    Hi @jarrow, Thanks for your all your suggestions, very helpful. Having looked at the specs and user manuals for the NVR and cameras, they look really good - perhaps too good… You get what you pay for, but I’m wondering if there is more of a budget configuration you could recommend for...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Hi, I didn't get the idea of configuring my OpenVPN server to listen on port 443. I believe that choosing a different port (other than 443) doesn't make my network (on vpn server) more vulnerable How can setting the vpn with port 443 help? Any additional configuration is needed on other...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    ^ FIFY ; ) Depends on what else you want to do as far as incoming/outgoing traffic. As above, by default most all will block all unsolicited traffic destined to your edge/public IP address. If the router/firewall doesn't automatically open a port for the VPN as part of its configuration...

    Do you use AdGuard or Pi-Hole?

    @gwminor48, I run PiHole on two RPi 4B for two and a half years with no problems. Very easy to update. Every now and then I have to go in and locate which URLs are being blocked to allow a few sites to operate correctly - those few sites can then be whitelisted. I use gravity-sync to sync the...

    Understood ok thank you for the response. Yes I definitely understand and that's why although I am happy I know this is a bandaid fix. I have an older D-Link 601 router with ddrwrt on it in a box somewhere. I might blow the dust off it and try and put openvpn on it. If I do that it would look...

    Automatically Open and Close VPN

    Yep found two solutions, First requires a Mac "Apple Configurator" you can create a VOD (VPN on-demand profile), if you have a windows PC you can try and find a copy of the older iPCU (iPhone Configuration utility for windows) Second use a VPN server that supports Cisco VPN clients for iOS. Both...

    New user, hello

    Superb, thank you! The issue I have with remote viewing, besides the security risks, is I'd like to view them from my workplace. Which has a pretty secure network and a lot of block filters. Since I'm also not an administrator and use a different machine every day, I'm not sure if OpenVPN is...

    New user, hello

    The best pratice is to configure both the main stream and sub stream vides streams for each camera. Then set them to record, in each camera, either with "continuous + alerts" or "continuous + triggered". This records the sub stream until there is an alert or trigger, depending on your...

    Comcast blocking OpenVPN at least with Apple devices

    I have Comcast in three locations and all three are using a mixture of Wireguard and OpenVPN as end points. I would guess that it's not a Comcast issue on your end and probably instead a configuration error.

    Transport VPN (via Ubiquiti) works great when out and about on mobile. But drops when entering WiFi.

    Really trying to rack my head about this. Unsure if it's a Transport VPN configuration issue or is this simply how VPN works. When I am away from any Wifi, the Transport VPN on my Android smartphone works fantastic with blazing speed (well, compared to when I used OpenVPN or L2TP). However...

    OpenVPN woes

    Nope that is the beauty of OpenVPN - it is just like you are sitting on your couch as it puts you back into your wifi. Only one configuration as the LAN IP address is the same whether you are at home or remote in.
