Hey guys,

Had my OpenVPN working just fine when I was running Asus firmware on my Netgear R7000. However, had issues with the firmware and went back to stock. For the life of me I can't get IVMS-4500 to play with my Samsung S8.

I connect via OpenVPN just fine. At least, I think it is? Seems to connect even though no bytes in or out. Having said that, my private IP seems to be an odd one in the app (192.168.25X.X?). My home addresses are limited to 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.200, so not sure why this one shows 192.168.25X.X.

Settings on the Netgear firmware are limited and are attached.

The phone connects to OpenVPN, but times out in the IVMS-4500 app, even though I haven't changed anything in that app and my NVR is still connected to the same IP Address as it was before ...192.168.1.XX.

Would love to go back to Asus firmware, but alas, I had installed Tomato and then reverted back to stock, and now I can't upload any firmware other than stock or Tomato (get errors with anything else oddly enough).

Help?

One other thing, on my main router page, the IP subnet mask is 255.255.254.0.

When I look at my NVR's network config, it is 255.255.255.0?

Could that be an issue?

Hmmm...tried changing hte NVR's subnet mask to 255.255.254.0, didn't make a difference.
