    Advice Needed on Best Practices for Securing Reolink NVR

    @mat200 Thanks, I reading through all the old posts on the VPN Primer for Noobs thread and slowly learning. @looney2ns yeah I figured I would get that response. I could return it and go BI.

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    The ISP Modem Router is currently running as both a modem and wifi router. It's broadcasting out it's own WiFi network, it's extremely slow though. Standing beside it I only get around 30Mbps download. It has a few devices wired directly into and one or two devices that are nearby that don't...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    @Mike A. Thanks! as I read some more last night that concept began to dawn on me. And I began to understand the whole premise more. Is this just specifically with the ASUS? Or OpenVPN? Would it be better to go with a Ubiquiti router? That way I can also block inbound and outbound access to...

    Conduit or Not?

    @Holbs Thanks for the info and picture. I studied it some more this afternoon and I can probably hide most of it (I think I was over thinking it too much before, imagining this labyrinth of conduit). And for the exposed pieces and final vertical run into the soffit (attic access) I can use EMT...

    Conduit or Not?

    Yeah I figured the threat of someone tampering with it wasn't one to really worry about. I have Cat6 now and went with Cat6 just because I have some lengthy runs reaching the corners of the property. I just used the term "direct burial" because I came across that term when researching...

    Conduit or Not?

    Looking for advice on whether the hassle, appearance and cost of running conduit on the outside of a residential install is worth it? I recently purchased a 16ch PoE system and I'm about to install 14 PoE cameras using Cat 6. I've been debating whether it's worth running all the Cat 6 for all 14...
