    Setting up VPN server, two router set up

    I see, thanks a lot. And I would still need to have some config files on any device that I am looking to use to tunnel in right? I think there are instructions to download and move the files?

    Setting up VPN server, two router set up

    Thanks again. Sorry lost again, why do I need the service? So at a high level 1. Set up the first one as a modem 2. Configure the second one to act as a router and have a VPN server running I understand those two pieces and your link was very helpful. Where do I need the DDNS service? Is that a...

    Setting up VPN server, two router set up

    Thanks again Southern Yankee. I am sorta tracking. Few questions: 1. What do I need to be careful of while ensuring static IP or DHCP reserve? Will that be on CL modem or the secondary modem? 2. Any tutorials that talk about end to end set up, for instance this one does not mention...

    Setting up VPN server, two router set up

    Thanks for the quick turnaround SouthernYankee. The first one (the CL one) will be either a Zyxlel 3000 or Zyxlel 4000. They also have this Greenwave C4000 ( some new router/modem). I am completely open to the second one ( the one that'll run the server). Which one should I chose...

    Setting up VPN server, two router set up

    Hi, my ISP is Century Link and afaik they won't let know run a VPN server on one of their routers (even if I buy it). My plan is to set up a second router and run a VPN server on it and use it to access the remote camera feed (when I am away). I am unfortunately lost on how to do it. There are...

    You mean above the top bar garage windows (in the gray area). So bring that corner camera inwards to be above the door directly? (~7 ft height then?)

    I see thanks Seb. Does this photograph look ok, so two cams (vari focal turrets) on either side of the garage criss-cross? I am guessing this will be wired through the attic then? Ate those too high you folks feel? I may have to put them next so soffit to access the atttic cleanly.

    I see, sure. Do folks here mostly install their cams themselves, I am looking to hire someone. Any places where I can get recommendations in my area? Or just call and ask basically?

    I see that. Thanks Seb. I will share an updated front arch. for my home. Any resources on things I need to be mindful of when it comes to hiding the wires as much as I can to avoid vandalism/wire tampering?

    Thanks a lot folks, Looney and Seb. Seb, I found this video, do you think this is related to what you are saying? Here is another one: Any waterproofing tutorial videos you recommend? Also, Seb are you saying that the dual lens mini dome can capture both the package area and face of the...

    I see. Thanks Mat. N is the number of cams? Also is a fixed length 2.8 mm a good camera for the entry way door?

    I see that Mat. And I think that is what Seb also says. Criss-cross right? Yes I will do it. That puts me to 6 cams. Thoughts on: 1. Is the IPC-T5442T-ZE a good model overall for my needs? 2. Back of the home coverage? 3. Seb do you mean securing the wire connecting areas with quality...

    Thanks Seb and Mat. Quick follow up: 1. Is IPC-T5442T-ZE a good general purpose? I was also contemplating using a bullet for the driveway 2. Seb when you say dual coverage, you mean one camera watching directly onto the other camera? For instance in my case, a back camera onto a tree in the...
