I have an issue that I've been trying to solve for a little while now, and I figured the best thing to do was to hopefully enlist the help of the excellent members here since I am at my wits end.
I have four Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras running on a NVR5208-4KS2 that are working great. I can connect to them with GDMSS on four different devices seamlessly with using my local wireless network, and I get ~150kbps streams from all of them in real-time with crystal clear quality.
However, when I am remotely connected on my phone via VPN over a mobile connection (Verizon Wireless), the connection speed slows to a crawl and I can barely get more than a total 30kbps max for all four cameras (~3-8kbps per camera; about 1 frame every 45 seconds).
I have connected to my home network via VPN using my neighbor's wifi, and the cameras work perfectly (>500kpbs), indicating that my OpenVPN server seems to be working fine (on a Linksys WRT1900ACS; firmware up to date)
My speedtest.net results on both of the Verizon phones (different accounts, same problem on both devices) are ~12Mbps, so I'm pretty sure it's not those. Also, while connected through my VPN on both devices, the speedtest.net results are still ~11Mbps, so I don't think I'm losing speed much there either.
I feel like this is probably an OpenVPN setting issue, but I am at a loss for what it could be.
Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.
