Hello all.

Now that my security cameras are up and running I started hardening my network. I disabled UPnP in my router. I only saw two addresses using it at the time, neither of which was the NVR and thought it would break a lot of things like my VOIP service, etc, but... it didn't.

In fact, so far, the only thing I noticed it break was my torrent client, which I created a port forward in the router and that's up and going. I can still receive incoming calls on VOIP and I can still stream my cameras via the Lorex Cloud mobile app, so...

Should I also disable the ALG options in my router? I did a search on the forum, but didn't see anything about ALG. I'm using a TP-Link Archer A7 router.
