Hey there,
Just FYI, I use openVPN on my ASUS router to grant my iphone access to the local network even when Im away from the house. It works great when I want in, but since the VPN disables itself when I come and go, Ive found that I dont get notifications (presumably unless I turn my VPN back on first after I leave) (PS: I disabled SMS alerts because my text alerts were arrived hours late (Verizon))
1) Is that the way it works for all of you as well?
BI seems to autofill the wan IP and port on its web server tab automatically., I had HOPED since I was using a VPN, I could disable the public : port address but it always plugs those numbers right back in after I delete them.
2) since I'm not forwarding any ports, should I even worry about this?
Windows firewall [on my server] has an entry that lets BI see through it, and there are checkboxes for both public and private. Each time I disable 'public', a new line item is automatically created RE-ENABLING public.
3) Is BI doing this?
4) since I have no ports being forwarded at the router level, should I be concerned?
Are there any VPN-related best practices I should follow before I call this setup a wrap?
