HI all
Trying to setup my VPN in order to view my IPCs remotely from my android phone (2 cameras and 1 Dahua NVR). The biggest issue I have is the ISP, who provides a restricted router and if I install a third party router, then the Terms and Conditions of my ISP contract are breached (yes, I will be changing ISP but am locked into contract for another 8 months or so!). I have searched the web and found instructions of sorts that may help with VPN setup with my ISP router.
So, my basic understanding is that I would want to install a VPN Server on my router, and the VPN client could be installed on my android phone or laptop.
Here are the instructions. Do they make sense? I don't think that they are installing the VPN server? Perhaps I need a standalone PC to run the server?
One of my VPN work straight away, other one I had to set up on the router.
first make sure upnp is on
http://192.168.0.1/upnpcfg.html
then you will need to set a static IP for the device that you want to use the VPN on
http://192.168.0.1/lancfg2.html
then you will need to create a service on the router if the default ones don't match you VPN details
default VPN serviuce already on the router are ipsec on UDP500, L2TP UDP 1701 and PPTP UDP 1723 if these match you details you don't need to add a customer service
http://192.168.0.1/scvrtsrv.html - click add customer service and enter the details such as ports that your VPN uses
then goto the firewall settings
http://192.168.0.1/scinflt.html
click to add a Inbound service
Service : choose the service you want to add(1 at a time)
Action :Always Allow
Send to LAN Server : IP address on the internal device
WAN Users :if work has a Static IP then choose single, if they use a range choose range and if its dynamic address then you need to choose any
Start: only use this box if you choosen single or range - if single enter the public IP of the VPN if its a range enter the first address the VPN might use
Finish : If you choose single this box will not be aviaible if you choose range this is the last IP address the VPN might use
