Hi all - thanks in advance. Pretty new to all of this so likely a boneheaded mistake. But making progress with some help from people here. I have an ASUS router with OpenVPN setup but struggling to connect while away from home LAN without disabling "LAN Only" on users tab. At home - I can...

LAN and WAN are the same. When on home network I can access BI no problem. Does it have to do with some block at the router level that it doesn't know how to fund / talk to the BI CPU? ie do I need to wire 192.68.50.1 (the router) to 192.68.50.5 (the BI CPU)? thank you, I appreciate it

Thank you. Driving me nuts. EERO is in bridge mode so theoretically same as router. But just in case wrong I directly connected the BI CPU to the ASUS router. I can access BI CPU using UI3 from other computers on the network and phones on wifi. And I can access via BI app on android as well...

1) What is the LAN IP address of the router ? [192.68.50.1] 2) what is the LAN IP address of the BI computer ? [192.68.50.5] 3) what is the LAN IP address of the UI3 computer. ? [192.168.50.206 - my android device] Is the BI compute directly connected to the router ? [SORT OF - ASUS ROUTER WITH...

oh the things above in original thread. good point. apologies. will get to that and post today. have to drop for a bit for work stuff. thanks

I tried. In another thread where you helped a gentleman with this same predicament. Does it have something to do with the router allowing vpn to access the LAN? I found a couple non IPcamtalk threads out there but either involved writing scripts or wasn't very helpful. In some respect same as...

Not sure if best to follow here or on a new thread but will try this first. I have been struggling to connect BI while on OpenVPN. BI / UI3 connects jsut fine when on home network. OpenVPN connects from my phone and shows as connected on my asus router UI. I have set it up per Randy's...

yeah, nothing too obvious.... BI machine was not visible on the network. So good to go. Thanks all But will likely be back. I tested WAN access with OpenVPN connection and wasn't connecting. Will dig into and peruse these forums and the interwebs before wasting anyone's time. And if get that...

Nothing too obvious, gents. I barely know what I am doing at this stuff. Busy day running around with kids but I appreciate the ideas and will revert asap today when I can sit fdown and go through some of this stuff. This is all pretty addictive actually.... This problem has caused me to much...

Actually, on the machine my BI is running on I can access UI3. From a laptop on same network I get the error timing message

re: UI3 connection -> no. timed out "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT " re: ping asuscom.com -> yes, returns same WAN address on webserver tab of BI re: connection to the router via openvpn -> I do believe so. tested it from outside the home on cell network today.

I didn't make it that far. But not sure I was going that route. I thought for remote access it was port forwarding vs. VPN vs. Stunnel so I went the VPN route. But I can't even access this when running on my home network, so focusing for now on the 1M target of making it at least work. Ca't even...

Thanks. I should have added this: I cannot connect even on my local network. Let alone outside. But I did go through that, thank you. Have OpenVPN up and running on ASUS router and have tested the tunnel into the home from outside.

Hi all -- thanks in advance. A bit of noob at this so likely made a boneheaded mistake somewhere but thanks in advance. So have been tinkering with my first system for a while. Ran Cat cable, hooked up the cams, have a dedicated CPU (I7) and instaled Blue Iris 5. So far so good. Home networked...
