    How to Configure a VPN-Based Solution for Connecting Remote CCTV Cameras Over SIM-Based Internet to a Central NVR?

    +1 TailScale Will traverse any level of NAT, Including CGNAT. You only need one instance (Windows, macOS, *nix, AppleTV, etc.) of TailScale running on your network and advertise sub-net routes to access any IP based device on your network remotely. Even a Neanderthal like me can set it up.

    Car dealership Woes

    If the only car he could afford was a used car headed to the auction, he's going to need a GoFundMe account for his defense attorney legal fees. He might be able to clam temporary insanity brought on by someone at the dealership physically threatening him. From some of the Yelp reviews, it is...

    Car Break in Up the Street from My House

    Correction. The FordPass app now supports automations. The bonus is it does not violate Ford’s ToS like some of the other third party work arounds which abuse the FordPass API

    Car Break in Up the Street from My House

    I can do almost anything with my new ‘25 Ford, including remotely unlocking and locking my car. Just can’t set an automatic lock car command each night in case I forget.

    How is a VPN more secure than port forwarding?

    I host Tailscale on pfSense and all I did was create the hybrid outbound NAT rule. Works automagically!

    How is a VPN more secure than port forwarding?

    VPNs do not necessarily require port forwarding depending on which VPN client and where it's hosted. For example, Tailscale requires no port forwarding regardless of where it is hosted (router, firewall, OS client, etc.)

    Syncing camera time with PC time

    Most, if not all, consumer and SOHO routers can serve time via a LAN side NTP server. I happen to run a Stratum 0 GPS+PPS source on my pfSense firewall. https://github.com/elvisimprsntr/pfsense-ntp-gps

    OpenVPN home IP address

    Although I don’t use OpenVPN, I use a DyDNS service since I don’t have a static IP, but it has not changed in 7+ years. That way I can access via a host name just in case it does change.

    Corruption in food and health : Dr. John Campbell

    23andMe and DNA scams

    Why did one of my logs that show age of camera have a starting day of 1970?

    Are those date stamps from a server or the camera itself? And you don't power your cameras 24/7/365? If from the camera itself, since the camera does not have a CMOS battery backed RTC clock, it needs to acquire NTP time after booting up, which appears to fail synchronization. Do you...
