Hello! I've got BI working pretty good on a Swann camera-salvage home system. It runs on a separate computer 192.168.10.xxx. I have my home network on 192.168.0.xxx using Omada ER605. A POE switch powers the cameras, and an open port is plugged into an unmanaged switch on the xxx.0.xxx home network. Wife wants to see the cameras on her phone. I created VLAN 10 and a VPN in the ER605, but am getting bogged down somewhere either on the 2 networks or on the OpenVPN. I cannot get to BI on 192.168.10.xxx and of course I'm doing something wrong. Any tutorial or vids with this re-hashed scenario? Thanks!
OpenVPN and Blue Iris on Separate Network?

The first step is to make sure wife can see the cams from her phone when on your home network using UI3 in a browser such as Chrome. The VPN comes in when she is not home and wants to see the cams through the mobile phone network or from a network outside your home.

This is how a lot of people on this forum access their BI computers. Notice the BI computer has two NICs. So there are two physical networks but I see you want to use virtual networks.
Thank you for responding. No, I cannot access the Remote WAN IP address supplied in the Web server tab using Chrome from the home xxx.0.xxx network. I can access the BI compute using Remote Connect from my home desktop on the xxx.0.xxx network.

Yes, aside from the NIC x 2, this is basically my setup. I have seen descriptions of the dual NICs but other descriptions on how this was not needed assuming everything is set up correctly, since the VLAN is essentially the other network. Any suggestions?
