With my week being dedicated to dabbling more and more understanding and making things better with my Dahua villa intercom system (1 VTO and so far 3 VTH's), one thing that still mystifies me.
1.) I am no power user when out and about on cellular wifi. I still need to figure out how to keep VPN on for 24 hours a day for a full week (minus being in home/work local WiFi environment). I have to see the bandwidth used because I'm on a lower mobile internet plan with charter spectrum. Right now, my Android VPN client connecting to my ubiquiti UDM's radius vpn server times out when the smartphone's screen goes dark idle. I have dynamic IP at home and I know I have to do....something to get that pseudo static IP (had to do so when using OpenVPN on my old Netgear nighthawk router). But luckily, for testing purposes my dynamic IP stays the same for the last couple months.
2.). I know there is debate about the use of Dahua P2P since going through Dahua/Chinese govt servers. What would happen if I created a dedicated vlan subnet just for a single VTO for use of P2P? I know I would have to open a couple ports in the firewall to talk to both blue iris and home assistant.
3.). I'd like to get doorbell alerts and see/talk to someone who buzz the VTO when I'm out at work or grocery shopping on cellular WiFi. If P2P in this layout is still as bad as port forwarding, I guess I best figure out this VPN stuff quickly
