I just switched from cable internet to fiber. I have been using a app called IPcam Viewer Pro on my android phone to view my cameras. After switching to fiber I am not able to connect. I have the following equipment

Unifi UDM Pro
Various Unifi APs and switches
DYNDNS setup to point to my IP address updated by Unifi

My UDM Pro shows a WAN IP of 100.64.xxx.xxx
Whatsmyip shows a IP address of 216.107.xxx.xxx

I am able to be on my home wifi and connect with no problem when DYNDNS uses the 100.64.xxx.xxx address. It wont connect using cellular data. All I did was unplug the cable modem and plug in the ONT from the fiber. I made no changes in the UDM Pro

Any suggestions?
 
A 100 wan address like that, I bet you’ve moved behind cgnat. So direct access most likely will not work. Look at something like tailscale. Which implements a vpn.

Using a vpn is also preferable to direct access to your camera/nvr. As how good was its front door for security

I have all my cameras locked down on their own VLAN and plenty of firewall rules in place.
 
Thank you. Do you know of any good tutorials or videos on the install? I know the basics of what tailscale is and does, just never used it
 
hm, no, I just did it, and made it go. But There's a Self Hosted guy that works there that has - so these might help:


I run it in docker here at home, and I run it on a vps. so between the vps and home there's a tunnel. You can run baremetal as well.
Or on ios I just use the tailscale app - and it works just like a vpn. Then you can use subnet routing to allow things coming in over tailscale can access your entire lan (or however you want to slice and dice it).
 
Talked to the fiber company this morning. They switched my account over to a standard IP address. My unifi now shows a 104.219.xxx.xxx address.. and whatsmyop.org shows the same up. And I am able to connect from outside they lan like I have always done.

Thanks for the help

Now THAT'S amazing. No extra charge for a public IP that's NOT behind CGNAT?
I am surprised in any event. Keep that company as long as it works for you and you're able! :cool:
