First the preliminaries.
Just upgraded my pc (Blue Iris machine) to an ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4 LGA1700. Installed windows 11 on m.2 NVME ssd. No problems. My home network is set up with a 10Gps network. Problem: windows 11 has no drivers for my Intel x520 NIC. And, I am unable to clone my old pc ssd to the new machine.
So, I decide to add a second m.2 NVME ssd , install w10 and have a dual boot system. (could only accomplish this by enabling CSM, which was disabled by default). Can now use the x520 nic when booting into w10 and I could clone my old ssd to soon to be w10 NVME
Fast forward, got everything working, most importantly: Blue Iris.
Main network ip is 192.168.x.x. (x520 nic) All cameras on a second network with intel port on motherboard with ip of 10.10.x.x…no internet access. And, I set up the wireless on the new motherboard on the w10 side as well as the w11 side.
Now the new issue:
I set the w10 to the first boot device and boot into w10. I start up blue iris. I check my phone (wireless off) and I get remote access…all good.
Note: I use Zero Tier for remote access and set up with 172.25.xx.xx ip. in lieu of a vpn. Set up as per: .
In Blue Iris>settings>web server>local, internal (lan) access: dropdown shows ONLY the 192.168.xx.xx ip address, neither the 10.10.x.x nor 172.25.xx.x (Zero tier) ip’s show up. YET……I AM GETTING REMOTE ACCESS.
Can someone please explain why/how this is possible?
Fast forward, I tried disabling wifi on the w10 drive. I did a network reset. Neither worked. Still able to access remotely even though the dropdown had only the 192.168.x.x ip address.
What did work….I re-cloned my old hard drive to this drive and did not add any of the wifi drivers/setup etc. Now in the drop down I get the 3 network ip to choose from …ie: 172.26.xx.xx (zerotier).
What actually was going on and , if I did not re-clone, were my cameras indeed exposed to the internet if I continued to use the 192.168.x.x in the dropdown in Blue Iris?
