Search results for query: port forwarding hacked

Good write up. It should be noted that the first type, home to the internet while pro-privacy does come with risks. The key one being you delegate the trust of filtering internet traffic to your VPN provider, as such a host based firewall (even windows defender configured properly is...

Thanks for the suggestion. I have disabled the NVR from the router DMZ setting. However, the weird thing is I can still view 1 of the 4 cameras on the Q-See QC View app over data. How is that even possible? I thought by disabling DMZ I should not be able to view any of the 4 cameras but that's...

OMG--- I literally was going to post about this very thing, and as always the IPC community comes through. I am one of those who was lucky NOT to get deeply hacked, running a port-forwarding setup for years. I turned all that off and tried to set up OpenVPN on my old Netgear router with...

You're completely ignoring the existence of the NAT. I know you don't know what that is, but it is true nonetheless. Don't change the port numbers in the camera's web interface. Here's an outline of what you should do: 1. Turn off UPnP in the routers at locations A and B. This will...

My guess - if you are using 'port forwarding' to do this - the cameras are being hacked from the internet. IP cameras have security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by the internet hackbots. What firmware version is on the outdoor cameras? Suggestion : Shut down port forwarding and see if...

Hacked as in having access to see the cams or hacked as in getting access to computers on the network?

This is pretty much black magic to me and would appreciate a bit of handholding. According to the post @tigerwillow1 provided there's a chance that aside from being able to view the cam video hackers could actually get into the network the nvr is attached to. Is port forwarding equivalent to...

People transitioning from a manufacturer-provided "P2P" connection method will need a different way to connect, but most or all features should still be usable. I'd start by getting set up with a Dynamic DNS service (DDNS). IPCamTalk has free dynamic DNS available via the TOOLS menu at the...

It is naive to believe anything is unhackable, and no network service is truly 100% safe to forward a port to. Not even a VPN server. You should always measure the risk versus reward. Lots of vulnerabilities in RTSP servers of various cameras have been publicly documented, and IP cameras in...

I totally agree - I was shocked when I came across that site. But unfortunately, I am finding that almost every search on this topic is saying some variation of that, or is basically plagiarizing what was said on some other site that it is generally a safe method. So I totally see how a total...

So we get quite a few posts every month about someone thinking they have been hacked, or someone not understanding the vulnerabilities with allowing their cameras on the internet. I searched here and couldn't find that "one thread" that we could point people to or have them find in a search, so...

OK hopefully my last question before I go down this rabbit hole and actually start trying to make it work LOL. Is port forwarding needed? If so, how is this different than what is preached around here about never do port forwarding so that you do not get hacked?

Hi @arkiel Members have reported numerous issues with Reolink ... Since you like to have others help you out on this... a quick search for Reolink in the forum shows me a few I recall reading and posting about: In this thread: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/why-is-reolink-junk.44687/ A...

That's how I'm looking at it too, lots of valuable information, and a solid reminder of securing your system, and reading manuals cover to cover... I have to go back and edit some of my rants so that fenderman calms down... HAHA anyhow I knew of some of these problems with cameras, but WOW I...

Hi, I am new here. Currently, my home has a non-IP DVR with only two cameras. I want to go to an 8 channel NVR PoE and start with 4 new IP cameras. For remote access I plan to setup VPN on my Asus RT-AC68U and put a VPN client on my laptop that I RV travel with. I want to use a different...

Presumably you mean port 80 is now stealth? It means the hackers can no longer mess with the camera. Were you accessing the camera web GUI from the internet? 'Port forwarding' is risky, best set up a VPN if you need remote access. Check out How to Secure Your Network (Don't Get Hacked!) What...

Does the camera have UPnP enabled, and is it enabled on the router also? And what is the firmware version on the camera? If UPnP is active, or port forwarding has been configured, and the firmware is 5.4.0 or earlier, the camera has the 'Hikvision backdoor vulnerability' and may be accessible...

Thanks, really enjoyed the write up. btw - a good resource for folks: https://www.exploit-db.com/ btw 2 - enjoyed and wanted to share this with folks: Black Hat 2013 - Exploiting Network Surveillance Cameras Like a Hollywood Hacker

First thing that links says "dont not use port forwarding" Oops... I will get that fixed. I am using the app on my cell phone. That's the only access I need to it. I Thanks

That lets the entire internet in to the PC. A risky thing to do. If you need to have remote access - you'd be best to set up a VPN as a more secure method. Very many posts on the topic. And some how-tos here : https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/

Frankly I was exactly you until about two weeks ago. Port forwarding is easy and it does work. I don't believe I was ever hacked, but even years ago I knew I was playing with fire. I finally got a VPN server setup a couple of weeks ago using a raspberry PI (it would be easier to set it up if...

Damn it man, you or someone else deleted your other thread where you were asking about controlling the camera. Yes you can allow anyone to control the camera. Typically remote access in that situation (no always-on pc) would be done by port forwarding, but port forwarding is unwise because it...

Setup properly, it will have no affect on anything else. Make sure you have the latest router firmware before attempting again. Using port forwarding is asking to be hacked. Don't do it. Randy : OpenVPN on a Asus router VPN Primer for Noobs | IP Cam Talk

This is a common issue with modem/router combos many of which do no support nat loopback. This has absolutely nothing to do with the brand of the NVR or app. You should also inform your poor clients that port forwarding their NVR has now exposed not only their video feeds but their entire...

local IP addresses are accessable from the internet directly. You can set up a VPN to get onto your local network, or use port forwarding within the router to access a local IP address (NOT RECOMMENDED SECURITY issues) ------------------------------------ Private ip addresses. Local IP...

How hard is it to set up your VPN? Is there some tutorials out there? Thanks.

I may take a shot at VPN. I'll have to study up on it first. Then I'll try to see how it works. Thanks.

I have an Asus router running standard ASUS software. I Strongly recommend against using port forwarding, it is a security risk. I recommend setup an inbound VPN on the router. Setup OpenVPN on the router, believe that it is part of the merlin software...
