    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    OK, so this is confirmed! Dyndns has a "host updater key" (that I don't ever remember generating) and that needs to be used instead of the password associated with my account. Replacing the password with the key on the router DDNS settings should hopefully result in a successful update.

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    1) Im not sure what you may be referring to..... I already have DynDNS setup natively on the Asus Router side (see attached) 2) cron entry on the Asus router that verifies and updates your DynDNS record as the public IP changes. I googled this. Unfortunately, I am on the latest stock version...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    UPDATED 4/20/24 at 10:19am EST Well, I thought I had this resolved. but now I don't know what the issue is.... Setup: Using Asus Router GT-AX6000 Using the OpenVPN that's part of the router firmware. I'm on the latest version of the Firmware for the router. I am using a Verizon Home Internet...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    Looks like my issue is around DynUpdater not updating the WAN address correctly. I had to manually tell it to us the existing WAN address

    Keep losing audio from Reolink Doorbell

    So i just figured out.. it applies to both of my Reolink cameras only. If I use the Reolink PC application, I get sound every time. But when I switch to Blue Iris, I don't get sound unless I issue a reboot command to both. If I reboot the camera from either the Reolink PC app or thru Blue...

    Keep losing audio from Reolink Doorbell

    This is a strange one. Maybe my settings... not sure. I have 12 cameras and this is the only one doing this: About once a day I lose audio from the camera thru BlueIris. I lose it thru BI5 both the Android app and the web interface. If I do a "Restart Camera" from BI5, audio comes back, for...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    Is it correct to assume that when you use a VPN at the router level, that any device in the house doesn't need to run the OpenVPN client side software (64 bit MSI installer). So if I have a laptop running on the LAN inside the house, I don't need it. But if I use the laptop at the airport, for...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I do. It doesn't pop the app up. If you are on a lock screen, I see the message pop up on the phone. If I tap on the message, nothing happens. I then unlock the phone and go into Notification Settings, then scroll down to the message and tap it, it then opens the Reolink app up. Too many steps

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I don't know why Reolink just doesn't update their Android and iOS software to allow the app to pop up when the doorbell is pressed. Seems so easy! FYI: I'm using OpenVPN. I just figured out last week how to implement OpenVPN at the Asus router level and turn off...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Hello all! I've had this installed since last year. And I know this is a really basic question.. When someone rings the doorbell, I want the Reolink app to pop up on my Android phone so I can immediately talk to the person. Im not sure if this is in the settings? Or is this not part of their...

    Trying to get off Port Forwarding Dependency

    I changed the password when I first setup the router and changed it again last week. I'll change the user name as well. Then I'll make the other changes. Thx
