You'd want to use something like Wiregard, OpenVPN or similar to create a private VPN tunnel between the two sites, this would also require routers on both ends that can handle this configuration and create the tunnel. Definitely doable but need to have the right setup to pull it off.
...true, the adversary would need to be "in the middle" during the initial key exchange (during creation and copying of the openvpnconfiguration file) in order to substitute public keys with their own. Once the OpenVPN tunnel is configured, each end of the connection is able to verify that the...
Why is it called P2P if there's another server involved? What is the other server involved? Would it be a Dahua server, in my case, if I had used it? Since Dahua is my camera manufacturer.
Just asking so I understand what exactly P2P does, even if I'm not using it.
Have you tried using the "OpenVPN for android" client from google play instead of "OpenVPN connect" ?
After the latest OpenVPN Connect update (version 3.4.1) it startet acting up for me as well, but the other app works fine. With no easy way of downgrading the OpenVPN connect version...
...The attached "OpenVPN Android S24" shows the log for the OpenVPN client on the S24 Android phone.
If I go to the Asus router and hit the "Export OpenVPNConfiguration file" and install that file on my OpenVPS client software on the phone, it starts working again..
What am I doing wrong here?
Your VPN server configuration needs to have a port selected (as noted the default port for OpenVPN is 1194). When you set up the VPN configuration at the client end, you need to use this same port in the setup. (The port would already be included in a "setup" file if you export this type of...
I've been through the VPN for noobs thread, and I think I kind of understand it. I have a second NIC enroute, and am pretty sure OpenVPN is the route I indend to go. So I need a router to host(?) Openvpn. My ISP already provides a wireless router that is the interface with the ONT(I have...
OK, I'll try to be as useful as possible. But this is a very wide situation.
I believe that OpenWRT will be opensource and free for the foreseeable future
OpenWRT has a GUI called LUCI. It is not part of their snapshot/master builds, but is in all release builds.
You can easily build /...
Good question. Nothing is perfect, but I'd still trust OpenVPN with weak configuration far more than I'd trust the P2P option.
With the P2P route, you are letting your NVR connect to someone else's servers and you can't know what kind of risks that opens you up to. There could be...
I had a VPN set up for my cameras since 2018. However, recently OpenVPN has recently complained that the HMAC Authentication wasn't secure enough. I tried changing it from SHA1 to SHA256, but same error, after exporting the new .opvn file.
Next, I tried configuring port forwarding.
I did it...
I have 20+ cameras connected by cellular and for some of the live cameras I use the Inhand Networks IR302 modem. It has a built in utility for openVPN and a nice configuration utility with alarms and reporting.
I've had a Synology RT2600AC for 5 years with a mesh Mr2200. I have my Blue Iris computer set up with dual NICs, one for internet connection to BI and the other for my Dahua cams. I access them remotely via Open VPN server on my router and client on my Android. All has worked fine.
I upgraded...
I wanted to hear your thoughts on this OpenVPNconfiguration for a TP-Link router... Does it look correct (I'm just not sure about the port forwarding step), or is there something you would change? How to Configure a TP-Link Omada Gateway as an OpenVPN Server in Standalone Mode
Thanks again for everyone's help.
Alrighty, I think we can agree the iPhone is connecting to my Asus Router using OpenVPN. Look at the circle with the key and the same circle with the blue dot. When I hover over the key circle I get a question mark and a box with Connected pops up. If I...
Don't worry too much about the preferred and alternate DNS settings, they aren't particularly relevant to this VPN problem. If in doubt, use Quad9 (9.9.9.9), Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and /or Google (8.8.8.8), your choice of preference order.
If you say that you can definitely access the web...
...the OpenVPN app on my iPhone to connect, so I reset the Asus Router. I configured the wireless and a few things but left all the other settings factory, made a new OpenVPNconfiguration file and I connected.
It does the same thing, times out when off my local network and connected with OpenVPN.
...IP back to 192.168.1.xx BigRedFish asked about the Gateway and yes I changed that back to 192.168.1.1 Next, I created a new OpenVPNconfiguration file and loaded on my iPhone and it does the same thing, times out and does not connect. That should tell all of us that my different IP was not...
Hey there,
Windows 10 computer hardwired to the Asus RT-AX86U
iPhone 13 with the latest iOS and the latest OpenVPN app.
3.0.0.4.386_44130 firmware and I would get this error message, Open VPN, connection failed, Peer certificate verification failure on my iPhone.
I researched and called Asus...
So that is a really great solution!
But with the local connection/IP added NVR, is there a way to view the alarm list? It's frustrating that they hold back some features in the app for those who get an account with them. I can delete the cameras and add them in the order I want them to be...
I've been using pfSense CE for about a year and a half now. I'll never go back to any consumer router as long as I have control over it. Going from a subpar consumer router like Asus, Netgear, Amazon etc. to pfSense is like going from a Ring door bell to Andy's Color 4K cameras.
I like the...
Hello Mike, thanks for your advice. I just want to make sure I understand and so can I make clear what I hope to do with the new setup. My existing (pre OpenVPN) setup comprised an iMac, 2 iPhones, an iPad and a Synology NAS for backup and Surveillance Station to record video files from a...

The instructions i used to setup OpenVPN were loooong. Took me all morning to slog through them. And in the end I had more questions than I started with. A lot more. And, as usual with these sorts of things, There were several settings mentioned that did not exist, I ssume because they were...
I agree with Mike A. You need to take a step back and start over. Remove any rules on the WAN that you created (port forwarding or otherwise). You really just want a "default" setup from OPNsense. This will stop any outside sources from accessing your BI server (along with anything else on...
Still seeking assistance/input on this issue.
The problem has to be on the NVR side of the configuration. My VPN connections to my LAN are operational. Have even tried ASUS’s Instant Guard in addition to OpenVPN and Wireguard. Not hitting the Dahua NVR when on VPN via IP address in browser...
Hi,
Newbie here. I've purchased a NVR5432-EI-32 through Andy. Love the gear, have it preconfigured and my first 2 cameras setup. Now having trouble with DMSS.
I've read through numerous posts (wiki, VPN primer, how to not get hacked, Open VPN setup, etc.) to research how to properly setup for...
