Remote access (router)

[ruasonid]

Now I've got BI up and running I need to be able to access remotely via the home router (Asus) to monitor and receive alerts (both from BI and OpenHAB), etc. It's been a while since I did any network configuration like this. Is there a guide or are there any pointers that would be helpful?

For some reasons, google does not work for everybody nowadays

Link to walkthrough "how to implement OpenVPN on ASUS router": [VPN] How to set up the ASUSWRT for VPN Server – OpenVPN | Official Support | ASUS Global

When having this OpenVPN server, you connect, from all around the world, to your LAN as if you were at home. You can then connect to BI, your cameras, domotica, smart fridge, lawnmower etc.

Good luck!

In addition to @catcamstar 's info, there's this: OpenVPN on an Asus Router

Thanks. I'm on the latest Merlin firmware and don't want to change it again. I'll have a look through the above and figure it out.

Any recommendations for a DDNS service? Last time I used one (cannot recall which) it seemed not so reliable.
