    How to get push notifications through firewall - working finally

    I watched the log from my router as the OP mentioned doing and saw activity for my NVR's IP address when IVS went off...but I never saw 2195. I only saw 443 as the destination port and then other random ports as the source. Those source ports seem to change, but the 443 stays constant.

    gDMSS Push Notifications

    Thank You!! I guess i wasn't keeping as close of an eye on this forum as I had thought because I missed this. And I think it worked for me before September 2017 because they changed the way it worked around then. I remember seeing a note when the gDMSS app updated that said because of a change...

    How to get push notifications through firewall - working finally

    This is showing my rule 1 allowing 2195 (and showing no traffic in the stats) And rule 3 allowing 443 (and showing the traffic count increasing as I get an IVS alert) Then rule 4 blocks all traffic from all of my cameras and NVR from reaching the internet.

    How to get push notifications through firewall - working finally

    This is awesome!! Nice find! For me though, I added a rule to allow TCP traffic from my NVR IP address to destination port 443 (2195 does nothing for me) and now I'm getting my IVS notifications again! But, I guess now I'm not sure what the point is of blocking my NVR from accessing the...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    As far as security is concerned, the main thing is that any random wifi network that you're connected to outside of home (work, Starbucks, Lowe's, hospital, hotel or airport) as long as you're connected to your VPN, nobody else on that random WiFi network can Snoop on you, because it's encrypted...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    When your phone is connected, everything you do on your phone runs thru it, so yes it's encrypted between you're phone and your server (in your case, your router at home) then it goes out of your house unencrypted. So your ISP knows what your doing, just as much as they would know what you are...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    That happens by default when your connected to the VPN. I wouldn't connect to my works WiFi without my VPN, and it's extra nice because in doing so I bypass the strict filter they have in place. They have no idea what I'm doing. (Not that I'm doing anything really wrong, but a lot of shopping...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Are you thinking you can go without a data plan for your phone? That is not how it works, you still need a data connection (either 4G or wifi) to make the connection to your VPN.

    gDMSS Push Notifications

    My push notifications have not worked in a long time. Like, 4-5 months. I thought it was because of an upgrade to the app back in September 2017, but now I'm not so sure (or it was fixed since then). I've kept an eye out here but it seems that nobody else was really having any issues, so I...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    No particular reason. The NAS was super easy to set up, I can easily add or remove clients and it's ALWAYS on. It's probably more likely that your NAS will be running 24/7 more consistently than the PI. That would be the only consideration I would have. Also if I decide to wipe the PI and...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    my VPN is connected 100% of the time I'm away from home and this is what mine uses. And my upload speed at home is 2mbps (recently bumped up from 1) and it's definitely slower than when on 4G...but it's not the worst. And I don't know how long it takes to connect as I have Tasker do it...

    Motorcycle "Dash Cam"

    Does anyone ride and have a "dash cam" that they use and like? I'm not talking about a GoPro mounted to a helmet or anything. That's an option I'm considering, but really I'm looking for a camera that can be hardwired into the bikes electronics to turn on/off with the bike and loop record the...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    A raspberry pi is a nice device to have running on your network 24/7 anyway. I'm using mine for lot more than I thought i would when I first got mine. And I even got one for my parents house to run a VPN server so they could check the camera I installed for them and so I could remote in and...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    The VPN itself on the router won't do anything to block the cameras from the internet. You must do that with the routers firewall rules. Any devices connected to your home WiFi network will not need a VPN connection to see the cameras. It's only for securely viewing them when you're away from...

    ANNKE I61DR 2MP (Hikvision Cube Clone)

    When the camera changes between WiFi and cable it likely gets a different IP address. Find this new IP address and set tinycam or whatever up to connect to the new address.

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I don't know how it would work since you're trying to do the VPN, but I've installed plenty of routers behind the main ISP provided router also. Mainly as AP's or as a cheap switch, so I just disabled NAT and DHCP on those. Maybe try doing that on your Asus? And port forward 1194 from the pace...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    My guess is that your pace gateway is acting as a modem/router and your Asus behind it is a second router which is no good. Can you get to the admin page of the pace? You would have to disable NAT and DHCP on that then have your Asus act as your only router, and the pace acting as the modem...

    He doesn't specifically say that it won't work...but it might cause other issues if done this way. Do you have parental controls on your existing router? A common use of this would be to block your kids phones/tablets/computers from accessing the internet after 9pm on a school night for...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Find it in the play store. The app loads fairly quickly, but the streams do not load for me as fast as they do on my gDMSS app (I only have a 1Mbps upload speed at home which is probably why). The key when away from home is to set tinycam to load the sub streams (unless you have a very fast...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Your strong vpn account will never allow you to view the cameras on your home network. You need a vpn server on your network that you connect to in order to do that. It's fairly easy, I run a vpn server at my house on my qnap Nas and one at my parents house on a raspberry pi. Both of these are...

    How can I improve on this facial image?

    I bet you could. @nayr has a Post somewhere on this forum where he describes how he has domoticz grab the ivs signal from the camera. If you used that with some outlets or lights that are able to connect to domoticz I'm sure you could tell it to "turn front porch light on for x minutes when...

    Curious about integrating VPN, DDNS and gDMSS push notifications

    The only downside I see to being connected to my VPN server all the time is a slight speed decrease (my upload speed at home is piss poor...but it works just fine and it's worth it to me to be able to open my camera app at any time and see my feeds right away) I use Tasker to automatically...
