    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I am also confused how remote viewing works, after I've logged into the VPN. Or, if I'm on the home network, what do I do the view the streams? What do I do in the browser? I used the ASUS firmware to set up the VPN. Is the ASUS firmware's port forwarding also tied to the VPN? Also, I...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I asked this in the post I just submitted, but after I have my cameras installed, and I've enabled port forwarding, do I use the DDNS URL with the port for either a camera, or the NVR, to view them? Do I manually use the DDNS URL for anything? Or, as you said, does it just help the VPN client...

    Yes, I was just trying to make sure I understood the data flow. Because I don't have my cameras installed yet, I don't have connected devices. But I wanted to make sure I had correct setup, and understood the setup too. The devices I have on my network are an Ooma and a Tivo, but I don't...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    Thanks. I decided on this model sometime last year after reading that it was good in particular when things are played at slower frame rates. And yes, the model is a little overkill, but still not too much, IMO.

    Looking for a camera security system.

    I haven't purchased my TV yet that I'll keep upstairs, for camera monitoring. I noticed this weekend though that there's a 2018 version of the model I wanted to purchase. Considering that I only plan to use this TV for camera monitoring (no TV service; movies; or video games), should I go...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thank you. Ok, so I need a connected device on the network with port forwarding, in order to use the DDNS, once I connect to the VPN. Until then, then the router is the only thing I can connect to, on the VPN. And because I have the VPN set up, then I won't be able to use the DDNS, even if I...

    Thanks. Why couldn't I connect via the DDNS address when I wasn't on the VPN?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Ok, I was at the grocery store and I connected to their Wi-Fi. I was able to connect to my router when I was connected to the VPN, and I wasn't when I disconnected. So that validates that. However, I was unable to connect to my DDNS from the web browser, even after logging into my VPN. Why...

    Also, I was able to connect using the Windows VPN client here: Community Downloads I had downloaded the wrong thing a few days ago. I had downloaded the Private Tunnel client.

    Also, I tried accessing the DDNS URL on my desktop on my home network, but it doesn't connect. I also tried it on my phone. I set it up on Sunday. EDIT: I followed these steps. The ping worked. How do I check if my DDNS address is working correctly
