    VPN problem

    That may have been the case, but I don't remember any date being specified. Anyway it's back working correctly after creating a new client.opvn file and importing to iPhone. I also wonder about the frequent IOS updates to the phone?? I definitely learned how to do some troubleshooting with...

    camera access with OpenVPN

    I solved my problem by using Hikvision IVMS-4500 on the iPhone. I now have full remote access to the NVR.

    camera access with OpenVPN

    I have successfully set up an OpenVPN connection between my Asus router and iPhone. I can access my network remotely using the iPhone, but can't figure out how to remote access my cameras. I used the browser Safari, put in the NVR lan ip address, and logged in to the Hikvision NVR, but...

    Remote access using VPN

    Already tried that. Didn't work. Maybe an issue in my OpenVPN config file?? My Asus AC86U is setup just like Southern Yankee in post #12 of this thread: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/trouble-connecting-using-openvpn-via-t-mobile-cellular.36853/ Only thing I can think of is checked "none" on...

    Remote access using VPN

    I have successfully installed and am using the IVMS app on my iPhone. I get a good connection to my NVR when my iPhone is set to "Wi-Fi ON" and linked to my home network. When I turn Wi-Fi to OFF it will not connect to the NVR. OpenVPN only seems to be working with a Wi-Fi connection. I'm...

    Remote access using VPN

    Is the IVMS app installed on the iPhone only? If so, after the VPN connection is made, how is the IVMS app directed to my NVR? I know this is simple but I can't get the concept. All help is appreciated. Maybe this is covered in the VPN Primer for Noobs but I haven't seen it.

    Remote access using VPN

    I have successfully setup a tunnel VPN using OpenVPN. Using an iPhone and Safari as the browser, I can access my home network and bring up the Hikvision web interface for my NVR. Problem is I can't live view because it's asking for a plug-in. Where do I go from here? Am I even going about...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I'm the same, very little wifi. All streaming on devices that are hard wired to router. I just want to play with a tunnel VPN. The AC66U-B1 would work fine for me. I did notice that for just a few more dollars you can get the AC68U. I doubt there are any features that would be useful for me...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    It has been several months since I read through his thread. What are the current model Asus routers that support OpenVPN? Any other brands that are ecomomically priced? thanks.

    router for VPN

    So what alternative networking equipment are you suggesting for a "consumer" in need of "consumer grade" applications. Please understand I have no idea of what you mean by "owned via heartbleed". I really appreciate all the suggestions I am getting here, but I readily admit I know very little...

    router for VPN

    I think the Asus firmware may be my best bet initially. I have no doubt the 3rd party firmware offers more features, but they may be features I never need. Since it's going to be a challenge for me to set up a VPN I hate to introduce another variable into the equation right off the bat. I...

    router for VPN

    OK, sounds good. Is it as easy to work with for a guy like me that knows little to nothing about setting up a VPN? I know I've found lots of good info and how to's on working with the Asus factory firmware, but sometimes there is even more info on "open source" software.

    router for VPN

    Help me understand, what is the advantage of using Merlin or FreshTomato when the AC66U comes with the ability to run OpenVPN using the factory firmware?
