I've got BI running and remote access when not connected via WAN set up with OpenVPN - which my router supports. I just wanted to double check that I've got the settings correct so that I'm not using port forwarding (which given the security concerns I'd rather avoid.)
In Settings->Web server I've got 'Enable the HTTP web server on port: 81' enabled. Is that turning on port forwarding? When I turn this off, whether OpenVPN is running or not I can't connect from my phone so I presume it's necessary?
Second question and more general VPN related - when I've got OpenVPN running on my phone, is that funneling all phone data traffic through my home network? Does that offer the security of general VPN's around being able to use public wifi etc, or should I treat it purely as a means to an end for remote CCTV access?
Final question - whilst BI displays the correct time, the actual camera time stamp (it's a Dahua) seems to go out of the window. It keeps defaulting to GMT+8. Is there any way I can stop it defaulting to GMT+8 without leaving SmartPSS running all the time?
