hi to all i`m new to this forum.

i have an NVR hikvision NVR, 32 Channel, 320 Mbps, 24 Port POE [HIK-DS-7732NI-I4/24P] the cameras are directly connected to the NVR poe ports, and directly on the modem.

what can i do to prevent from the NVR to be hacked, it is accessible through external ip, as i forwarded the ports to be able to see it from the mobile / laptop.

is there any hardware that can be installed between the modem and the NVR? or is best to use a dedicated VLAN? but this is used in domestic house i.e. the only swich is the modem provided by the service provider.

appreciate your input.

thanks

My general VPN post


There are two types of VPN, do not get them confused.
The type depends on where the traffic conversation originates

1) origination: local home network, destination the internet.
This type of VPN is purpose to hides your activity from the internet, it is outbound, it normally costs a monthly fee to use. Direction is from your home PC to the internet, going to your bank, google, porn sites,,,, this not what you want. This VPN uses a VPN server that is in the middle of your communications.

2) Origination: the internet world wide web, destination: your home network.
This VPN type is used to provide a secure connection onto your local network, in bound to you local home network, from your office computer, your cell phone in your car, tablet at the coffee shop.. This is what you want, it does not have a monthly fee and is normally completely free. OpenVPN is this type of VPN.

If you home internet provider is a cellular network, then DDNS (dynamic Domain Name System) may not work, the DDNS is needed for most Inbound VPN services (OpenVpn) to get your home IP address (it is not static) so OpenVPN may not work for you.
Look at ngok or Hamachi for remote access to a home cellular network (I have NOT used these)
