A newbie question.
I have set up my ASUS vpn. I can access my VPN and blue iris from my laptop using wifi from work by first starting OPENVPN then using a web browser to connect to the Blue Iris login page (UI3). So the VPN works and the Blue Iris web server works.
The Android Blue Iris App ($9.99) on my phone will connect to Blue Iris when I am at home over my home wi-fi. But when I am at work it does not connect, I have verified the WAN address. Does the APP have a built in VPN connection ability? Or do I need to use to install OPENVPN on my phone ?
If I have to install OPENVPN why do I need the app when i can use the web browser ?
The long term objective is to have a simple one click icon on the phone for family members to access the cameras. And when family members close the APP/web browser the connection will disconnect.
