Default Re: Question for network gurus

Hmmm, I think the answer to your question is no but I say that only because your router is doing the VPN. If you set up a VPN connection from your computer you could do what you want as that is what I do and the only encrypted connection is the computer IP traffic. This type of set up allows other connected devices to be routed through the router as normal.

By enabling VPN on the router, I suspect all the connections try and go encrypted? What router are you using?

I did some googling and it's possible to get what you want working but it's going to depend on the service you use to view the camera remotely as that service would have to support the VPN connection as well, e.g. Have the key in order to encrypt and decrypt the IP traffic.

I have an Asus RT-AC87U. Yes I could use the VPN per device but it wouldn't be useful for my purpose then. The main reason I am using a VPN at the router level is that I am running Fire Sticks with Kodi and am streaming, and really don't care for the ISP to know. The Fire Sticks don't have native capability to run a VPN on the device.

Default Re: Question for network gurus

I run tunnels and cameras on a lot of servers, but I never have made the router the VPN. I see how this would be the problem. I think you can set up a VPN on another router and bridge it to the one connected to the internet, then keep the camera server on the non VPN router and everything else on the VPN bridged router. You can even have a single computer doing both but that is tricky.
