I think your DVR had 37777 and 37778 assigned to TCP / UDP, which is probably why it is working. Your next challenge is to get a router with VPN server and set that up.Hi
Changed DVR address to quick ddns one and rightly or wrongly port forwarded 37777 & 37778 and it all seems ok.
Even talked my Son through the set up and he can see it from his house so all good.
One little gremlin was not being able to add it to my Wife's iPhone again. It said it's already on this device.
I deleted the app and added it again and it went through perfectly.
Hi Steve,Thanks David
How on earth do I set router with VPN server and set that up?
What will it do?
Something I need to buy or free d/loads?
Any best suggestions?
Hi Steve,
Your current method of remote access, via DDNS, is not very secure. I'd go for a router that has a vpn server that you can setup, I use a Draytek router.
When I am away from home I always establish a secure connection to my VPN server, when connected I am effectively at home. Being connected to my home network also allows me to use my local network Pi-hole ad-blocking server as well.
If you're interested I'll see what the current options are for vpn routers. My own router is EOL and I really should replace it.
You'll have 1 (new) router but the virgin hub3 router will be put into modem (bridge) mode and the new router wan port will connect to the virgin hub. The virgin wifi SSID settings can be setup on the new router, that way there's no hassle changing all your devices to a new wifi network.Does that mean I'll have 2 routers?
