@Predki, I just redid some OpenVPN <=> iDevice stuff last week, so it's fresh in my mind. I won't attempt to rehash all the guides that are out there, from people who know more than me about this topic. Instead, I'll give you a grab bag of stuff that would have helped me along with what's...

Thanks @crw030; I might try that--I'm so relieved that the problem wasn't just poor performance from the new pfsense. I actually didn't care quite as much about rule count (even though that's what I actually said) vs. just trying to have minimal ports open for security. But having said that, I...

Hi all; I got caught up with other things and revisited this a few days ago. I'm happy to announce that this has been resolved. Thanks so much for the comments and help @crw030, @catcamstar, and @TonyR The issue apparently was that VLC was trying to use UDP instead of TCP for the video streams...

@TonyR ... Thanks for the suggestion; using the main stream adds an extra 1.5-2.0 seconds and looks better (it's full resolution). @catcamstar I'm not sure what you mean about the no-plugin firmware. Could you tell me a little more about that? One of the cameras we got is...

Only had a second, but your (@crw030) idea about timeouts produced a really interesting first hit from google... vlc rtsp session timeout - Google Search => RTSP timeout with VLC as client - The VideoLAN Forums which says (among other things) Since it's almost exactly 10 seconds without any...

Hey @crw030... Yes, I'll try the VLC stuff after this and let you know. For now, here's the info you requested on the switches... we were actually going to go through and update all the firmware but haven't yet. We could do that shortly. By the way, we've had some of these switches for years...

Sure @crw030; I'll do that shortly--hopefully within a couple of hours after some work stuff. Also, FWIW, I cross-posted at Slow Dahua RTSP stream with VLC when going through pfSense and replied to a post there with a packet capture.

Hi all, We have a situation where an RTSP stream viewed with VLC on the VLAN is quick to start (1 second), but when it goes through pfsense and a different VLAN, it's very slow (12 seconds). This is reproducible and has been tested with multiple machines on both Windows 10 and MacOS. The...
