    So best to run OpenVPN server on router and connect that way, is that what you mean by "connecting directly to the router"?

    Network Advice Wireless Camera System

    Looking for advice on getting access (from outside LAN) to local USB storage for the security camera hub connected to my router - not sure if I am understanding things correctly or if I am on the right track: Camera hub is ethernet connected to Asus RT-AC68U. Asus is connected to LAN 1 of ISP...

    Security Camera Hub Not Showing On Router

    I remember reading that too about not relying on Network Map. I got wondering why the hub was showing on 192.168.1.x when the router it was connected to is at 192.168.2.1...? Logged onto my ISP router and sure enough, (as am sure many have already silently guessed) hub was connected there...

    Network Advice Wireless Camera System

    After first doing a long-overdue router factory reset and some network changes, I finally got around to installing this camera system - the Arlo smart hub must be ethernet connected to router - would feel better about this if I could somehow get it onto a guest network. 1) Should I be worried...

    YazFi YazFi - enhanced AsusWRT-Merlin Guest WiFi inc. SSID <-> VPN Client

    After posting, I went back and hit u again, message said update available and specifically listed this problem like a changelog...something about user1.asp I then updated and works perfectly. Maybe I was dreaming? Sometimes just posting helps!

    YazFi YazFi - enhanced AsusWRT-Merlin Guest WiFi inc. SSID <-> VPN Client

    Nice to see the change to show config in router GUI but unfortunately it does not work for me - hopefully I do not get caught out at not reading accurately! I updated twice using u option. I see the YazFi tab in router GUI. When I select it, it takes me to http://192.168.2.1/user1.asp where I...

    Network Advice Wireless Camera System

    Currently I run a VPN client for all devices connected to router. I would now like to set up an OpenVPN server to allow me to connect to the USB storage on my security camera hub. My hope is to be able have have both running at same time.

    Can you please let me know if it is going to be possible to run both OpenVPN server and client on same router? Please point me in the right direction on how to make it so if yes. Thank you.

    Network Advice Wireless Camera System

    I see, that is the part I missed.....SERVER. It is not enough just to be running VPN on router. That is what whooshed over my head in L&LD's first reply to me! I will read and research how to set up and connect to my own VPN server - did I get it now? Thank you.

    Network Advice Wireless Camera System

    OK - using OpenVPN is going to be more secure and most secure if I can find a way without their app. Using the Arlo app is least secure if port forwarding but better if using VPN and no port forwarding, (?) So, until I can determine if there is a way without the app, I will attempt to use it in...

    Network Advice Wireless Camera System

    Interesting that you both mention VPN, I would like to learn more about how that helps with connecting remotely to a drive on a network. I posted a screenshot from the Arlo app - their wording makes it sound to me that port forwarding is not necessary if a VPN is used. Again, I do not have the...

    L&LD, what security risk is the Arlo app? As stated in OP, I am already set up with OpenVPN on router. Thank you for the additional OpenVPN configuration details but I do not have the knowledge to understand what you mean by "you should be able to connect to your network and access the...
