I was simply following this part of the guide:
Dynamic DNS? Yes you'll want to set this up, preferably on your router or VPN Server but your cameras/NVR are also likely to have these features.. Most internet connections have dynamic addresses, and this ensures you can always find your VPN Server and not have to reconfigure VPN Clients when your Server IP changes.
Have you set up DDNS on your NVR and in your router, and when you setup a device on ivms-4500, are you selecting IP/Domain, then in address are you entering your local NVR IP Address or the DDNS web address? Presumably in user name and password, they are the user name and password to get into your NVR?
Edit: And yes, I'm doing the same thing with OpenVPN. Exporting the file from the router, importing it into my phone and into OpenVPN connect. It automatically recognizes my DDNS domain.
The issue is ivms-4500 simply won't connect no matter what I do. And now I'm getting "connection failed" errors when I try to use ivms-4500 and set the device to my IP/Domain as the DDNS. If I select the local IP Address, it recognizes the 7 cameras (so presumably is connecting), but then gives me an 8200 error when I hit live view. I'm just at a total loss at this point as it doesn't matter what router I use or what settings I select. It can't be this difficult, I must be overlooking something so simple, sorry, just frustrated beyond belief at this point. Worst part is, it was fine a few months ago until I changed firmware on my router and then just stopped working. I was really hoping a new Asus router would do the trick, but I have the same damn issues.
