Connecting to VLAN devices

is there a secure way so I could still login to the NVR to view the cameras when I,m outside my network?
In my experience with the recorders is they have 2 ports, one for the cameras and one for remote access. Does yours have that?
-
@jknott It only has one port.

Then you'll have to set up a route to the camera VLAN. Since you want to be able to access it when away from your network, you could use a VPN and only allow that address to be forwarded to that VLAN.

Thanks. That's what i was thinking. Now I just need to figure out how to do that. -
When you say you have vpn - not talking about some vpn service you have to hide your shit from your isp. Talking about a remote access vpn.

This is how you access your camera's while you are remote..
-
Yes its a remote access vpn.
-
well then if your on your vpn and you have listed your vlan as a local network in your vpn config - you would be able to access it while on your connected to the vpn. As long as this vlan network does not overlap with your vpn clients local network, and or its not the same as your tunnel network used in your vpn connection.
example - these are 3 of my vlans I can access while connected to my vpn

Sorry I was out of the country for a few weeks. Would have been nice to have this working before I left.
Got it now. Just had to add the subnet in like you said.Thank you.

Hey John,
You were so helpful before. Could I ask for some more help?
I'm trying to setup a VPN with Nordvpn service that I subscribe to. The Nordvpn client services is up and running on pfsense.
What I,m trying to do is a separate Wifi ssid on my unifi ap controller with a VLAN 60 to route just to the Nordvpn. Setup of the unifi was easy and working.
What would be the next steps to pfsense to have this work?
-
Setup vlan 60 firewall rules to use your vpn gateway..
