Can't seem to figure this one out, I would really appreciate any ideas. I didn't want my BI server to face the internet so I setup a VPN that I could connect my iPhone to and then launch the BI app. The iPhone app works fine when i'm connected to the internal network but fails to connect when i'm on the VPN. I know the VPN is working properly as when I'm connected i can ping the BI server; i can even launch a web browser on my phone(192.168.x.x:81) and I'm able to login and see my cameras. I'm thinking either the app is trying to send traffic out the phone's LTE connection when it's connected to the VPN or the app is using additional ports besides 81. Every firewall on the BI server is off. Has anyone run into this before?

Change the app's WAN address to your local IP.
