Switch from VPN to Port forwarding
There are ways to add OpenVPN. IE: UDM-Patches As mentioned above you can also just get an RPi inside of your network to do this stuff or even a micro router with OpenWRT on it. I am using a tiny 1" X 2" microrouter inside of my alarm panel today that has been working fine. Recently added a... -

An OpenVPN server running on your firewall is easy to configure. That and see now you can generation a configuration for import to iOS, Windows, Android and Linux. It is much easier to configure an OpenVPN server now a days versus an L2TP / IPSec connection. Recently noticed an update to the... -

Thinking the downgrade / upgrade of firmware will keep the WLAN stuff / password stuff and other settings in place. Here only connect the wireless doorbell at 2.4Ghz with a unique SSID on my Ruckus WAP for the doorbell so I set the radio on that SSID to be using 2.4Ghz only. That and using the... -

My TP-link AX11000 router isn't as VLAN configurable as I had hoped. New router input? *Not PFSense right now.
Best to keep it simple VLAN wise. I currently utilize an Arris SB6190 (docis 3.0) and was testing an Arris SB8200 (docis 3.1) modems. With the PFSense box having multiple NICs you can physically isolate networks. Multiple VLANs on one switch still hit the back plane of the switch relating to...- pete_c

@NightLife Good news. PFsense out of the box with OS base is in Firewall mode. Baby steps. The GUI is intuitive. Watch the instructional videos. You cannot break PFSense. There are many add ons and built in features. Personally here addons run are Snort, pfBlockerNG, Backup and OpenVPN...- pete_c

Camera for end of 1000' driveway ? WiFi? Ethernet? Other?
A few years back built a brick structure for my mail box. Ran 12VDC, 120 VAC switched and always on power, two network cables and wired in under driveway sensors (Cartel) except that it was not 1000 feet. It would be easy to extend the network to 1000 feet using fiber. Here were views from...- pete_c

Understood. The 101 FAQ relates to using the DB with the cloud app. Modifying the firmware / taking it off the cloud can be treacherous and you can brick you DB. Yes here took the DB off of the cloud (no apps) when upgrading from the Nelly firmware to the Hikvision firmware and changed the... -
My TP-link AX11000 router isn't as VLAN configurable as I had hoped. New router input? *Not PFSense right now.
That was a big issue especially using PFSense a few years back. The Netgate folks issued a statement then that no new versions of PFSense were going to support non AES computers which PO'd their client base. Yes you can purchase a Haswell based mITX board these days for nothing. But you...- pete_c
