That's weird I get the same results on my Android Tab as well. I disabled my firewall, stunnel and also added firewall rules nothing changes the situation. I went as far as opening the whole router up to the internet. No change. I do get images. Only the first 1 minute or so when I open the app on the phone. Nothing after that till the app is re-opened. One minute later again nothing. Same thing on my tablet. All sleep settings and security disabled. What next?. The key here is some others do and what do they do to figure it out?
Yes all wan an Lan addresses are there and functional. Nat reflection is also enabled on the router. I tried to disable it as well. No change.
Yes I tried all that. Same WAN and LAN. Both internal and External ported addresses. What can I use to sniff the packet?
Sounds like a power saving feature is putting the app to sleep.
All power save on the phone is off and security as well. This is the main issue that has no answer.
I had same problem on android I uninstalled the blue iris android app, then on windows blue iris console deleted my phone from the mobile tab , installed android app again and used the phone tags box and gave it a name on mobile tab after signing back in to Blue Iris with my Android blue iris app
Unfortunately I have done that several times. Makes a difference for a few goes and back to inconsistent again.
I have iOS 14 installed so I'm curious.Yup basically the same type of issue. If you check the BI log you will see the phone logged off by itself when this happens.I know you're having issues on Android, I was asking mikeynags what iOS HE was running
I'm getting about 4-5 mins of GIF notifications after I open the app on iOS - then goes back to without. I can rinse and repeat consistently.

OK so you are getting the image or not? in Post #55 you mention you trigger thru BI and you get the image. If so, that's where you got the PFSense logs from? As you can see from the logs, your phone is going out and back in again - from what I can tell.
I'm so confused on how BI actually works when it comes to the push notifications. It seems that even if you don't have an IP address in the phone it will send a notification without an image. And it also seems it is up to you and your IP addresses/porting to make that happen. If I put an only the local IP address in BI "only the local" then it will not push and image at all, only notify. If I add My WAN to the WAN box then it will send a notification with an image. Only If I just recently opened the app. If the app is closed for more that 1 minute the phone will only give me a notification without an image. It is just so bizarre the way they implemented this system. What do I need to do to correct this? Ken doesn't seem to really have a solution for me over the past 2 weeks. I think he needs to give his Android developer a nudge. I have all the ports needed forwarded. It needs to be more simplified.
I'm stumped as well. I'm on the iOS platform so, not seeing that "sleeping" issue you are seeing on Android. Have you gone into the Android settings and turned off sleep for the Blue Iris? I think it's in the battery optimization settings section.
