Search results for query: port forwarding hacked

I doubt you'll get much support for letting the entire internet access the (unspecified) IP cameras by port forwarding. It's too big a risk to the network the cameras are on being hacked and compromised. You need to work up a site-to-site VPN to do this more safely - plus it will be as if the...

Try using OSINT tools and then see what results you get. Ultimately, I'm not going to argue. People on here have been hacked. Port forwarding is a fools errand. Always use a VPN.

I get that Alastair. However I am stuck being the only person in a small condo that knows how to operate the system. I've shown others, but they still come to me every time footage is needed. The requirement of the obsolete Internet Explorer doesn't help. We are stuck with the system for a...

Security awareness! By port forwarding to an insecure device, you are putting the LAN it resides on and the data and devices on it at risk of compromise. https://www.ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/

I do not mind in this case P2P configuration but how is it done in Hikvision? In Dahua I don't have to do anything to view with the app outside my network.

Best method is to set-up a VPN server on your home network's router: VPN Primer for Noobs Dahua (and hik) offer a P2P setup that is less secure in that it enables port forwarding on your network. This method increases the chances of unwanted Internet visitors gaining access to your cameras and...

Port forwarding will make it slower once you hacked lol. Sounds like you have stuff not optimally set as many people run Hikvision systems just fine and are responsive. Are you running 30FPS? Are your cameras all going to the NVR POE ports or are they connected to external switches? If you...

Very strange, when I try to access my router's WEB interface. Somehow the interface is not available- cannot access it. The HTTP server is screwed. Errrgggh....:banghead: I need to reboot my Asus router when I get to my office on next Monday. Update: This is a non-issue. I forgot to update...

No, I have never opened any port for port forwarding purposes. But for VPN to work, By default the router should open a port: 1194 (if not mistaken) automatically.

Regarding your concerns of being hacked. Have you enabled any port forwarding on your router?

Its on an air-gapped private network. Most of that is irrelivent.

The Amcrest for sure would work. It comes as default address of 192.168.1.108 and you need to change it. Most of these cameras will work best with Internet Explorer, so that could be why you were having trouble with other browsers. And if you want it to be DHCP, then you are probably setting...

:welcome: I would suggest using either OpenVPN which is available on many modern routers or Zerotier which is also a VPN but works through additional VPN servers. Note that this is not the type of VPN designed to hide your IP address while you're surfing the internet. OpenVPN and Zeroteir...

Port forwarding is not recommended. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/vpn-primer-for-noobs.14601/

Either install OpenVPN on your router if possible; OR, purchase a Raspberry Pi (RPi) and install OpenVPN and/or WireGuard on it using this guide; OR, install ZeroTier (or TailScale) on an always-on computer on your LAN and access your system remotely that way. To use these options you will need...

Can you backup this claim that VPN's are easier to hack than cloud NVR access? I find that hard to believe, considering NVR's are one of the most least secure devices you can put on your network. You can find a decent Asus router that has OpenVPN built into it for $160 or less. You can also buy...

Port forwarding is still a bad practice.

YMMV.... FWIW, I've installed 2 NVR's for clients, both Amcrest (rebranded Dahua), both port forwared, one hacked after 1 month, one still OK 5 years later. I've been running my BI server since 2014 using port forwarding, never hacked. Also running 2 more residential BI servers and a business...

All good thoughts for a business. But for residential use, a tad overkill. However I understand everyone has a different understanding of what 'secure' is

Whether you are going to choose an NVR or BI. Best practice is to utilize VPN connectivity for remote access, never use port forwarding. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/

VPNs are easier to hack than cloud NVR access. VPN you have to buy into infrastructure like replacing the router with a good $400 router because port forwarding a computer that is hosting a VPN server can be hacked. DDNS and Static IPs are extra costs. Free DDNS are prone to hackers. Cloud VPNs...

If you are deliberately exposing your device to the entire internet by using port forwarding on your router, there's a good chance the device, and potentially the other devices and data on your LAN, are at risk of being compromised either now or in the furure. Check this out for some good...

The 192 is correct, not following what you need me to do with the cursor over the BI Status page

Slide the cursor over on BI camera status page so we can see if there are No signals. Looks like you must be port forwarding instead of VPNing back into your system and people have either hacked or tried to hack. Those IP addresses come back to known hacking sites. Is every device on your...

Don't you need to set up port forwarding anyway to access your NVR remotely? https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/

Yep I would say for port forwarding. https://support.censys.io/hc/en-us/articles/360038378552-Frequently-Asked-Questions You haven't been hacked yet, but the possibility is real. Follow the above VPN.

Port forwarding is a huge security risk. How to Secure Your Network (Don't Get Hacked!) | IP Cam Talk

Despite that the Univiews are connected to PoE ports on the NVR, consider the possibility that the devices are being attacked / hacked as you are providing full access to them from the entire internet. Suggestion to try : Connect the NVR to the router, but disable the port forwarding, disable...

Note: Port Forwarding: NOT Recommended, eventually you will get hacked / attack .. Please see the VPN notes ..

Then your cameras are likely all hacked. Don't keep anything sensitive on any of the networks in this horrific mess.
