Some connections refused

[Erica Burrell-Design]

Hi!

http://98.127.254.72:81/jpegpull.htm Can you see the Shamrock Sky Cam?

I can from my computer, my phone (with wifi turned off), and my mother also can from another state. My brother is just a few blocks down from where this webcam is located but it said it's refusing the connection, that the VPN itself is blocking the connection. I don't understand why it would block one connection but not another. I have it set to allow 99 connections.

I ran through the setup with all green checks and port 81 is open - also being shown as 'seen' on various checkers verifying they can see my ip and that port is open.

I'm super lost and 2 hours of searching has brought no answers, so I was hoping someone could help point me in the right direction?

Thanks!!

@Erica Burrell-Design Welcome to the forum. What VPN? Is your bother connected to the network with the blue iris server via a VPN?

No, we are accessing it via the url that I've got published via webcast. He just told me "the VPN itself is blocking the connection", which I don't understand.

When you click that url, can you see the skycam? I'm trying to figure out if its an isolated issue or not - don't have a lot of testers.

Apparently another issue I thought was iframe blocking is actually some connections being refused and/or not loading. Was hoping someone had any new info or could help me?

Your issue is not related to blue iris. Its a networking/firewall problem. You need to go through your settings step by step to solve this.
