    OpenVPN home IP address

    Interesting. No-Ip, a 26 year old company offerings include a free DNS host service. I like it.

    OpenVPN home IP address

    I was using DynDNS since 2011 but the price just got too high ($55). It started as $15 and does not provide a lot of other features for email addresses and email provider integration. After a lot of research, I just moved to NameCheap ($12) and set up all these features.

    OpenVPN home IP address

    I am trying to understand. (I may not use the correct words here, but I will try) Are you referring to the feature in Routers that allow us to set up a DDNS service? I am currently paying NameCheap for a DNS hostname address. In my Router I set up DDNS to keep track of the changing ISP...

    OpenVPN home IP address

    Do most OpenVPN users have a DNS Host to access their home network or do they use the current actual external IP address? It appears that the ISP can change our external IP address without our knowledge.

    Trouble accessing BlueIris using OpenVPN

    Port discussion: The OpenVPN Server has a port number in the configuration and looking at the OpenVPN client, it shows the same port number. If I try to add that to the iPhone BlueIris application, as in: 192.168.1.xxx(port), it does not work BUT if I add my existing open "port forward" port...

    Trouble accessing BlueIris using OpenVPN

    It does work! (learn something new every day! UI3) Since this works, does that mean I should be putting the IP Address (192.168.1.xxx:80) the open port number? I thought I was trying to close the port forwarding I am currently using... and replacing with OpenVPN.

    NetTime - not updating cameras?

    How interesting. Thank you. Now off to configure those cameras DST settings. Thanks as always!

    NetTime - not updating cameras?

    Interesting. I thought that the cameras would check NetTime running on the BI machine and adjust their time accordingly. NetTime is showing the new time. Is this an incorrect assumption?

    NetTime - not updating cameras?

    NetTime is installed and working. All cameras are synchronized from NetTime. The issue I am seeing is that even though NetTime is updated to Daylight savings time and is currently accurate, the cameras are all not displaying the new time. (note: This is Tuesday, three days after Daylight...
