Just installed OpenVPN using a raspberry pi server. Very easy to install and set up. Works great to access Hikvision NVR using iPhone and iVMS.

Having trouble connecting to the BI server by VPN. Worked fine before w port 81 forwarded. I can connect using a browser by VPN but not the BI iPhone app. Tried setting the WAN address as the VPN IP no luck. Currently LAN IP set to BI machine and WAN IP public IP address.

TIA

set both the wan and lan boxes in your app to the lan ip and port

So while trying to troubleshoot this I unchecked 'Use secure session keys' and that fixed it with the IP's left as default.
