OK. I actually just installed a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 ac1900. It's working fine, and *I THINK* I got a VPN setup on it. I need to setup individual users like you suggested- but am a little confused on the overall purpose, especially when it comes to IP Cams?
So, when I'm home, on my network, or my kids on their devices- I just connect to my standard wifi, correct? No need for the VPN? My IP Cams are all connected to the network, and running BI (demo for now) to view them.
BUT- when I'm away from the home network - I can use OpenVPN to connect, correct? ie- music files, documents, etc- I can connect directly to the network or home PC- much like my own personal Google Drive or Dropbox, correct?
So, in regards to the IP Cameras and what started this entire discussion- how do I use the VPN to make sure they're secure, and creepers aren't spying on my kiddos?
Thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it!
