    BI and Cameras are 7000+ Miles Apart, Consistent freezing every 60-70 seconds for 7 to 10 seconds

    Interesting problem. Not familiar with the armcrest stuff. Does the traffic for it or the app you mention utilize the same S2S tunnel or is that traffic going out to the web and your app connects to the web? What are the details of the tunnel is it Cisco ASA or what? Have you done iperf tests...

    Is anyone else aware of their Dahua Starlight trying to "call home" all the time?

    Yea. I have my camera vlan blocked from internet access and can see them trying to reach out all the time. I actually disabled logging for that rule but I'll re-enable it because now you've got me trying to remember where they were trying to reach. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Android TV devices recommended for tinyCam Monitor PRO w/ background mode and web server

    Just FYI I've been using the Lenova M tablet for months now. It sits on its docking station 95% of the time. Works perfectly with TinyCam pro. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    pfsense and BI - multi LAN or multi NIC?

    Excuse my hasty handwriting Could be configured a ton of different ways. I subscribe to the first model. All vlans trunk to a Cisco 3750x stack. Otherwise if your pfsense had plenty of physical ports you could do a "dumb" switch for your camera network but I think it's pointless. Depending on...

    pfsense and BI - multi LAN or multi NIC?

    Again, it sounds like he already has pfSense. If he configures it properly the traffic isn't going to be on the home LAN. As long as the BI server and cameras are on the same vlan the traffic between the BI server and Cameras is layer 2 and will handled by the switch. Only traffic needing to go...

    pfsense and BI - multi LAN or multi NIC?

    I apologize we've gotten sidetracked. I was under the impression the OP already has a pfSense box which means there is zero reason to debate whether or not he should be using it. Sounds like hes asking does BI need a dual NIC or not. It certainly can, but there's no need to. Hooking the...

    pfsense and BI - multi LAN or multi NIC?

    You're right. It's not needed. But it's free and if he has the interest in learning why not? As far as one of my examples, I use TinycamPro to direct stream sound and audio to a camera. I like to have the screen off but still have the audio. The features direct streaming the video via that app...

    Route command help (windows)

    Hence I said "if configured properly". Creating one big /16 network isn't the answer that's for sure. However I missed that this was "training". Even more so I would think the OP would be better off understanding subnetting and learning how to establish routing in his router. Sent from my...

    pfsense and BI - multi LAN or multi NIC?

    Depending on how much you're willing to learn you can buy enterprise level switches that do everything you need and more. A 3750x Cisco 48 port POE+ switch (30w on every single port) will cost you in the neighborhood of $300 on ebay. It will do everything you need. Need more than 48 ports? Add...

    Route command help (windows)

    No I missed that. Either way if the devices were configured properly and your gateway (router) is configured properly the router should have taken care of the routing between subnets. By using a /16 you're not communicating between subnets. You're using one single huge subnet instead. Sent...

    pfsense and BI - multi LAN or multi NIC?

    One quick example. My cameras are on their own VLAN with no internet access and I need 2 devices (a pc and tablet) on my regular data VLAN to be able to access the cameras but nobody else needs that capability. With firewall rules I can allow communication between the cameras on the 192.168.40.x...

    pfsense and BI - multi LAN or multi NIC?

    If you dont need it you don't need it. But pfSense is literally an enterprise level routing / firewall / VPN, etc. It can build IPsec tunnels, anything you can think of. You can build aliases for firewall rules so that when you're building rules you use the alias (game_consoles) so that any new...

    pfsense and BI - multi LAN or multi NIC?

    Nothing wrong with your KISS method and it would work fine. But he's already planning a pfSense install which means he doesnt need another router, and BI doesnt need dual NICs. He just needs a good layer 2 switch with VLAN capabilities. Everything is able to be done via VLANS and firewall rules...

    Route command help (windows)

    You're on the right track but sound confused. First off, you shouldn't be using a /16 network that's poor design. Is your PC using a /16 subnet mask? You shouldn't need to do anything with routing in the PC assuming your devices and router are configured correctly. With a /24 subnet mask and...

    pfsense and BI - multi LAN or multi NIC?

    Are you asking about using multiple physical interfaces on the pfSense box to run the same vlans? Sounds like you're talking about link aggregation/ 802.3ad. Look under interfaces/ assignments / LAGGS. This can create a Layer 2 logical interface by using multiple physical interfaces to a capable...

    pfsense and BI - multi LAN or multi NIC?

    I use pfSense. 2 ports a WAN port and a LAN port. The LAN port is a trunk to a layer 2 48 port Cisco POE 3750x switch. All layer 3 interfaces are within the pfSense box. Create firewall rules to isolate traffic however you want it to be isolated. My camera VLAN can only access devices (a tablet...

    Front yard camera pole recommendations

    Looking for recommendations for a pole to put in my front yard. I believe a 16' long 6x6 would not be rigid enough and I'm not sure if I could find any glulam posts pressure treated the full length. I am leaning towards a schedule 40 4" steel or aluminum pipe and putting it in concrete 3' in the...

    BI Remote Viewing via WAN address. 2 servers, one works the other doesnt

    That is the point (I meant WAN traffic for only BI) and I've done all that. It was working but connections coming into my public IP using his port number go to his VPN address, but the connection never establishes hence the creation of this thread. Unless you know of other routing statements...

    BI Remote Viewing via WAN address. 2 servers, one works the other doesnt

    So I'm back to not being sure how to make the WAN traffic go out the VPN. Other than tinkering with the separate physical network card which thinking about it I'm not sure even that would work. I think I would still have the same routing challenge. I quickly chatted with a platform engineer...

    BI Remote Viewing via WAN address. 2 servers, one works the other doesnt

    The 192.168.30x network is for all VPN clients not just his server. His server is a client. As is my cell phone, or laptop, etc whenever connected. But you're right, the "route 192.168.30.0 255.225.255.0" statement wasn't needed. I removed it and everything is still working (only with "force...

    BI Remote Viewing via WAN address. 2 servers, one works the other doesnt

    I was already doing that. I'm also using that method for assigning a static address. But how does can this be configured to make BI use only the VPN for WAN traffic without manually adding every WAN network that would connect? Current advanced config for his Client Specific Override below...

    hmmm. interesting idea. And the hardware at his location is capable of that and I have spare NICs laying around. Thanks for the idea

    BI Remote Viewing via WAN address. 2 servers, one works the other doesnt

    That route to that specific public address does not show up but neither did it show up in the server that is working (covered by the default route I suppose). All this time just like you guys I suspected a routing issue but I thought the packet captures showing no response on either interface...

    Can you explain how? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've done everything I know to do in order to prove that theory wrong. See packet captures above. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    BI Remote Viewing via WAN address. 2 servers, one works the other doesnt

    I did another packet capture just to make sure I didn't miss something last time. I have included both in the same snip. As you can see the WAN traffic is coming in via the OpenVPN interface, but there is no reply on either interface.

    BI Remote Viewing via WAN address. 2 servers, one works the other doesnt

    Yes it can ping stuff on my side of the tunnel. Did you read where I did packet captures? The response is not going out the other interface. I did captures on both his interfaces. The incoming WAN traffic is coming in on 192.168.30.4:8081 but there is no reply on either of his interfaces.

    Open VPN client is installed on his PC the routing for the VPN is done by his PC. The packet capture showed it was not being routed wrong. From what I can tell, Blue Iris is not replying. I have a support plan so I've also sent an inquiry into BI Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    BI Remote Viewing via WAN address. 2 servers, one works the other doesnt

    You're not understanding my topology which is understandable. Its kind of screwy and perhaps I didn't explain it well enough. Due to my fathers limited choice in ISPs he has a double NAT situation in which he has no control over ports, etc. I establish a VPN connection between his BI server...
