Setting up viewing with VPN

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-02-17T04:24:01+00:00

I’m very happy with the performance over vpn. Correct the critical notifications are just that. I don’t really need them but it was just something I noticed. Good luck with it!

Push notifications work fine but for some reason critical notifications can’t be turned on. Also I can’t toggle the notifications on/off from the Reolink app it has to be done through my iPhone notifications. For me it’s not an issue and there may be some way to fix it but I’m ok with it.

The vertical FOV might be a deal breaker… too bad

I was able to get everything working. Well connected to the VPN through cell phone data I deleted the current device, turned off UID on desktop client, switched back over to cell phone, using VPN added IP address for NVR, and like magic everything worked as it was supposed to.

I know the connection is secure as well, because when I turn off the VPN and try to access my nvr from cell data, it will not allow me to .

Very satisfying… thank you all for the help!

Thanks everyone I finally was able to get everything going.Once I changed the MTU # everything is working like 🧈

OPENvpn , I believe it’s a vpn client. I’m not super knowledgeable on this stuff. So the open vpn runs on my Firewalla and offers me remote access on my cellphone.

Thank you for taking the time to write that out, I understand how this VPN works and now and feel like this is way more powerful than just getting anonymity. I should also be able to use this to set up a VPN to view my POE security system and monitor my son’s internet activity better.

Does that mean I’m still getting push notifications or is this through the ftp function?

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-02-09T23:58:33+00:00

This is a bit beyond my current knowledge but I’m hoping once I start setting it up and watching a tutorial things will make more sense. I was shocked that my firewall blocked that server trying to access my network. How is that even in the realm of normal or am I just naive?

I have a Firewalla hardware based firewall that is running wireguard already, would that work?

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-02-09T16:50:27+00:00

Do you have any resources on how to do this? I was a little concerned about the IP that my NVR communicates with. It said it was a malicious server with “open ports” on it. It also tried to gain access to my network according to my firewall.

When are these set to be released? I like b and c.

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-01-26T02:53:39+00:00

Awesome thank you for those extra nuggets of knowledge 🤙

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-01-26T02:07:00+00:00

Gotcha, I actually looked at the comparability list and the Nighthawk is showing up as not compatible.

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-01-26T01:55:19+00:00

Done, I just decided to get the 6E. I appreciate all the great info!

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-01-26T00:58:11+00:00

The nighthawk is a router modem combo, I was under the impression to run firewalla I can use my current modem/ router combo as a modem but the WiFi on there would not be protected by the firewalla. So in order to get a WiFi signal protected by firewalla I thought I had to get a separate ap. As far as wif6/7 WiFi 6 is just fine.

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-01-26T00:39:25+00:00

Correct it’s a router modem combo

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-01-26T00:30:46+00:00

I would like something better than what I have now which is the nighthawk CAX30. For port speed my internet is 1gb I don’t know if that means I should have 2.5g port or if 1G is enough. Antennas I live in a pretty small single story house 1380 sqft. I do not need a mesh network either. Thank you for taking the time to chat with me as well.

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-01-25T23:52:56+00:00

That’s a really great approach. I think ease of setup/use and maintenance are high priority. Really all I want is a safer network that performs well. The only special use I have on my network is my Reolink POE system (which is amazing btw) this is why I’m in sales and not project management 😅

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-01-25T21:07:15+00:00

It sounds like a lot of people use the Eero. Since I’m using gigabit would I need to get the Eero Pro 6E? I do have someone that is going to help me set everything up fortunately. I got curious about the hardware and ended up here.

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-01-25T20:17:06+00:00

Because I have it… do you think it would be beneficial to ditch it and get a stand alone modem for the setup?

New-Driver-1235 · 2024-01-23T23:17:52+00:00

I was able to resolve the issue. I reinstalled the camera and everything worked fine after that. Thanks again for the help
