I am running Merlin FW v384.11 on an Asus RT-AC86U with OpenVPN 1 enabled. Recently, I added 4 IP Wansview cameras and noticed when using their app I was able to access each camera remotely. The app does not provide any capability to restrict wan access and when talking to Wansview support they suggested adding a FW rule. I added the following rules, which I borrowed from another post, for each camera:
iptables -I FORWARD 2 -s cam-lan-ip -o eth0 -j DROP
Success so far. Each camera is still accesible from within the LAN and no longer accessible from the WAN. Problem is, it is also no longer accessible when I connect to my VPN. I can (& have) connect each camera to other video app such as BlueIris or iSpy and most of my problems are solved. The only problem is that I must use the Wansview app to modify camera settings which, with the above rules enabled, is only possible when connected to the LAN.
Is there any additional rule(s) I should or could add that would permit access to each camera when connected to VPN?
Hope this makes sense
