I've had a Synology RT2600AC for 5 years with a mesh Mr2200. I have my Blue Iris computer set up with dual NICs, one for internet connection to BI and the other for my Dahua cams. I access them remotely via Open VPN server on my router and client on my Android. All has worked fine. I upgraded...

I don't have access to the router that is being used for the wifi connection at work so I'm not sure about the ip range it is set up to use. That could explain why I can't connect via vpn when connected to wifi at work. Unfortunately however this doesn't explain why sometimes when I am at home...

Yesterday I couldn't connect to the VPN via the openvpn android app with wifi off while at work at all. Today, I'm connecting perfectly. Why???

I have been researching for some time and can't figure out how to fix my BI app and Openvpn connection problems. I set up the Blue Iris android app running BI5 on a dedicated PC 2.5 yrs ago. I have a Synology RT2600AC router with vpn server. 1. When I am at home on my home network via wifi...

I am using the free DDNS service provided by Synology

I see under the OpenVPN for Android config routing a custom routes option. Could I just put the IP of the Blue Iris desktop there instead of checking the use default route Ipv4 and IP6 boxes? I wasn't aware you could get Firefox to ignore the expired certificate, but wouldn't that only work...

Problem solved. Thank you. I was able to ping my camera PC which is really what had me puzzled. I never had to check those routing boxes before and could find no mention of that anywhere. When I ticked both boxes, viola, the Blue Iris app connects. I went ahead in the VPN config under allowed...

I tried your idea of removing battery optimization from the VPN for Android app but unfortunately I'm still a no go. I tried with their tech support to use self signed certificates and it simply would not work. The tech said there is a bug in their firmware that they are supposed to be working...

I got my Blue Iris PC set up over a year ago and had been successfully connecting to my Blue Iris PC using OpenVPN for Android with the OpenVPN server on my Synology RT2600AC. I've been going through a ridiculous run around with Synology support regarding my router OpenVPN server not working due...

Thanks for the swiping tip. I didn't realize you can do that. I tried and you can swipe in either direction which is way better than having to view/delete each. I don't like having a long list of alerts to filter through. I'd rather just look at what's there and delete as I go.

For about the last 6 weeks all of a sudden my alerts/clear all button in the Android app will not work. For example I get out in the yard or something without turning my cameras off, I'll have 50 alerts. I normally just look at the alert previews and clear all, but now I am having to go through...

For what it's worth, I don't have the IOS version, but the Android version. However I can say the Android app just works. It could probably use some UI polishing, but it is overall pretty simple, is stable, and I get motion notifications on my cell within seconds. I was able to get Blue Iris...

Go figure. Now all of a sudden the Blue Iris app has decided to start connecting. Hopefully it will continue to cooperate. Thank you both for your help.

I have Blue Iris checked as an app to use VPN in the openvpn config, and changed the Wan address to match the Lan address and its not connecting (both 192.168.1.6:81 which is the static address of my BI pc) . The username/pass I confirmed in BI on my PC as being what I setup there). Ui3 however...

Here are several screenshots of my router configuration. I am thinking I may have something not quite right in the firewall rules, but I am not positive. I set them up per support on the Synology community forum when I was trying to get the router VPN server working. On thinking this over I...
