    I'll check on that, but will only use the VPN when away to access the cameras. Still thinking about building a RPi to use as a server.

    This is west coast, they acquit illegals of murder. Might charge homeowners of aggravated assault.

    OK, got it working for the most part, and most important part. I can access my cameras! Looks like the thing that got it working was an adapter tweak. Just hope this is safe to do. Adapter tweaks Open the network adapters window Right-click your internet adapter (e.g. Ethernet) and then...

    Yeah, that doesn't sound like a good setup. Would like to setup the wife and I's phones to check cameras. I did set a static route on the router, didn't make a difference.

    Yep, done that. Thats another problem, log shows no issues, so nothing to look up. Think I'll start over and try the router again, but from what I've read this router is not the best for VPN. Was thinking about a Raspberry Pi, I've been wanting to put one together anyway.

    I give up! I think its Windows somehow, I've rebuilt the server and client config file multiple times and read every howto I could find. Every config file looks the same.

    PC firewall, router does not have a firewall. With the firewall off, I can ping the VPN server and the server can ping the phone. Just can't see 192.168.1.xxx from the phone. Saw this. "Once the VPN is operational in a point-to-point capacity between client and server, it may be desirable to...

    Have not installed BI yet. I messed around with the firewall a little and found with it turned off the phone could ping the VPN server. With it turned on the phone could not ping anything including the VPN. Turn off just the Public firewall and it could ping the VPN. So even with the firewall...

    VPN subnet is 10.0.2.0, it starts and the iPhone connects instantly, but no connection with any camera App. So how do I get the server and iPhone to see the 192.168.1.0 subnet?

    I'm I right in assuming when utilizing this RCA balun, that you connect the white wire to (+) and the black wire to (-)?

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Don't recall the model, picked it up from HD or Lowes several years ago. IIRC was about $30. Easy install though, one wire from transformer and one from button, or Ring now. Looks like a Heath Zenith from what I can find online.

    Thanks! Maybe a stupid question, but if powering the PTZ, SD49225T-HN, with POE+ and using a wall wart to power the mic, do I still need to split power to the mic and camera?
