You didn't provide any info on how you made Blue Iris visible externally.

But the safest approach is to disable all inbound traffic at the router, then enable VPN server on the router.

VPN Primer for Noobs

If you have a modern router based on DD-WRT (for example), enabling OpenVPN should be "easier" since there is usually a VPN UI. But YMMV.
 
Attempt ok- Thank you Fenderman. So if they would of guessed my login password they would of been in?
Actron- I just followed the directions with the tutorial on the software. I will get reading on the VPN so I can get this secured. My router is pretty old so may be time for an upgrade if it is required for the VPN. Thanks guys I'm gonna get on it.
 
OK so I just read the VPN for nooks & went thru the manual for my router. No where in there do I see any mention of VPN, WRT, DD-WRT, or Open WRT. Only thing close I see is a virtual server & I'm pretty sure that's what I used to get it where it's at now. With that said should I start looking for a newer Asus router?
 
Here is only thing I can find close

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network.

I don't use one myself.

If you don't expose your Blue Iris on port 80 or 443 (instead pick something random and high like between 40000 and 60000) then the number of random hits on your server will go way way down.
 
Thank you bp2008. I am currently on port 8,000 something. I will change it to what you recommend while I am doing my research on a new router.
 
Thank you bp2008. I will definetely check this router out then.
