    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Catcamstar thanks I checked my Asus router and under the VPN option the “Direct Clients to Redirect Internet Traffic” option is set to NO. Is this the setting I should set to YES to make what you say work? If so is everything I do remotely redirected through my router? Any other options in...

    Looney2ns The Fire HD’s are a great deal. The Hd 8, $49.00, and HD 10, $99.00 at Best Buy, Good Friday sale. Probably on sale everywhere. Can you just type in the local IP address into the HD and have access to BI3 or do you have to install a google app? If not, you say it’s relatively easy...

    Yes it is connected to a WiFi router. My network is Ethernet only according to my settings. My printer is WiFi set up only and I can’t print from my BI machine either so I just assume it wasn’t Wifi ready, only Ethernet which I don’t have connected to the printer. I tried accessing UI3 in...

    Actran my BI computer does not have WiFi access, hard wired, only my Apple products do. Using the local IP on the iPad does not work. Is your method only meant to work on certain operating systems?

    Giomania are you saying that if I purchase a Fire HD 8 I can get an app, install it and have all my cameras showing on the Fire with not other modifications? Which app should that be? That would be a great simple cost effective solution. SouthernYankee thanks for the info. I’m surprised there...

    IPad camera questions Can I set up the camera on my iPad, rear facing camera, to send video back to my BI machine? I want to be able to move the iPad to different rooms and have it record back to BI just like my fixed placed cameras. Can it be done through my existing BI software. If so how...

    VPN IPAD/IPHONE QUESTIONS

    Catcamstar I’m not really interested in the Netflix aspect of things and don’t want to get banned. I was under the impression it would provide some sort of personal protection for my identity and information. It would be nice to stop all those unwanted pop up advertisements. My information has...

    VPN IPAD/IPHONE QUESTIONS

    Thanks Mike A. I was doing thing backwards trying to turn on the VPN and never got VPN showing where you stated. I was turning on the VPN in settings and this is not the way to do it. You must first toggle on in the OpenVNP app then the VPN shows in the upper right corner. You can shut...

    VPN IPAD/IPHONE QUESTIONS

    The lack of response to my questions are thunderous and for good reason though. I answered all my questions with more research. Should have done this prior to asking lazy questions. The OpenVPN is a paid service but the OpenVPN client Server is free. This was available through the Asus router...

    VPN IPAD/IPHONE QUESTIONS

    I recently installed a VPN on my Asus router, ac1900p. Thanks to a posting by Randy I was able to, I think, get the VPN installed on my iPhone and pad. Used OpenVPN on both devices. Questions: when the VPN iPad or phone is on it lights in green as does my Asus router. I assume its showing...

    VPN SETUP

    Catcamstar thanks again for you patience. I can change the IPs of the cameras but I would perfer not to if possible. The SADP works automatically and always goes to the 192.168.10.254 setting, the visionnet setting. Can I change Asus settings to match the settings SADP are searching for...

    Catcamstar The ASUS, LAN side shows and IP address of 192.168.1.1. Under DCHP settings it shows IP spooling starting address 192.168.1.2 and ending spooling address of 192.168.1.254. The ASUS, WAN connection type is set to automatic. If the connection type is switched to static a WAN IP...

    VPN SETUP

    I added a camera to my system and used the SADP tool for configuration. It configured to 192.168.10.254. All the cameras configure this way. This is the address of the modem/router that was supposed to be set to send all signals to the new router, Asus. This is what is causing my camera...

    Thanks Looney2ns that is the way my system is setup. Fenderman explained that to me in another post as my system was setup incorrectly. But that part has been straighten out. It’s changing routers that caused the problem. I use SADP tool to setup the cameras originally and I can’t quite...

    VPN SETUP

    Catcamstar I’ll work on a diagram but this is what I have setup now. The original setup was one cable from switch to computer, one cable from switch to visionnet router/modem and one cable from visionnet to ASUS router. This was the way it was setup prior to having tech change settings in the...

    VPN SETUP

    My Isp tech arrived later yesterday afternoon and worked on my problem. He told me that for some reason all their new visionnet routers had no capability of being bridged, a fault he’s trying to correct with visionnet with a firmware up grade. This guy is the top tech from their main office. My...

    VPN SETUP

    Southern Yankee: yes they will allow you to buy whatever modem, modem/router you want but it has to be set up by them ie: password and username to access their network. They modify the software settings, at least in their modems and I assume any modem you give them for bridging. Tech support...
