    VPN and Blue Iris

    this is pretty cool implementation here with the VPN at the gateway. all that was necessary was to include the IP address of the WiFi Bridge primary transceiver to cover everything 'below' it. all that is necessary to cover all the cameras on the 610 AP is to add it.

    VPN and Blue Iris

    after perusing the WWW a bit today i landed on surfshark VPN since it was configurable in this tp-link router. piece of cake & have a 'new residence'.

    it seems this tplink router won't do the tailscale without openwrt & i don't want to go this route. i do want to add a vpn but in a 'streamlined way'. the nordvpn will install on this router, but it's not free. so when you say don't use port forwarding, you mean wireguard?

    i don't quite understand what you are saying here about 'exposing my server to the internet'. are you referring to BI on a win 2025 server?

    the windoze 11 computer is on an 'appliance' SSID, not isolated. thx. it does seem 'best practice' to install VPN on the router. tail scale uses wireguard protocol.

    actually have done this via hardware. the SL router is in the shed since the trees obscure the house. it connects to the tp-link Gateway which connects to a WiFi bridge to get to the house which connects to an AP in the house for the computers. the IPcams are all outside on one other AP...

    dude, love the 'handle' looney2ns. used to watch them as a kid. just discovered that there can be 'issues' with StarLink as the broadband provider. last year, the network was 'improved' by following suggestions made here by those that have expertise as NEs. these were done. the above link...

    so this is very likely the wrong place for this, but it seemed as if it might be 'helped' to the right spot. it seems a good time to subscribe to a VPN but with some software being so persnickety, i wondered if BI might be problematic with one. it is on a win11 computer that does nothing but...

    Funxwe 4k 8mp on amazon

    idk if it tracks motion at night since the light is very subdued. compared to the IR night vision cameras, this screen is mostly black. it is a good camera for day time & might be ok in the next spot.

    Color Night Vision. it does have some ir, but it is weak compared to the other cameras here with only IR. i have to manually switch it to an ir mode. so it will be relocated to an area with a sentinel light. as stated, if you live in an urban area with a good amount of light from street...
