Yes, in my rush to test it out, I forgot that. I also had a vague idea that NAT loopback would work as that's the way I normally test stuff like port forwarding.
Thanks for all your help.
I thought it would be difficult to implement after reading through the OpenVPN documents with all the different permutations available.
Hoping I didn't need to roll my own, I followed the Netgear VPN setup instructions to download the Netgear generated configurations for OpenVPN, from the...
Thanks Dino,
I'll have a go at setting up my router to use it's built-in VPN.
Thanks MYMsMan,
I've just got rid of NordVPN and have Netgear's version of Bitdefender (Armor) running on the router and individual PCs which includes VPN but no Meshnet equivalent.
Thanks Dino,
Yes, my Netgear Orbi router supports VPN and uses OpenVPN for clients.
Can I ask some simple questions regarding use of a VPN to securely access the web interface of the HDRFOX-T2?
When connecting using a VPN to my router how would I connect to the HDRFOX-T2? In the current setup...
Thanks everyone for your help. I'll look into the VPN option. I have VPN available on my laptop (Netgear/Bitdefender VPN) but again my knowledge fails me here. Using VPN on my laptop is AFAIK "single ended" to enable encyption of the data on an unsecure wi-fi connection to stop local snooping. I...
Thanks Black Hole. I thought the same regarding HTTP but I was a bit worried that there might be things in the unencrypted datastream that might be able to be used to gain access to the box to plant malicious software (unlikely given the architecture of the box, but who knows).
Update:
Writing the above has stirred my memory and it's starting to come back to me.
I have setup a port forwarding rule on my router to acess the HDRFOX-T2 and use port 443 for HTTPS.
I can now connect to the box using HTTPS but the browser (Firefox) comes up with a warning
Warning: Potential...
I seem to remember that back in the early days of the customised firmware that I was able to use an HTTPS connection for access to the web interface.
I would like to access some of my boxes via the Internet using HTTPS but selecting Web Interface Settings
HTTPS web server? Yes

The Visual Schedule screen does not seem to show all conflicts that are in the schedule.
I use Visual Schedule to check programs added to the schedule for conflicts as I can use it as a single stop tool to resolve conflicts when they occur.
In some situations it fails to show conflicts that can...
Thanks everyone for your time invested in looking at my problem with failed recordings with programs on the CH58 MUX on the HDRFOX-T2 PVRs during periods of atmospheric ducting and providing your inputs.
It seems from your responses that the problem could be alleviated by making changes to my...
Problem with this approach is that i would need a passive splitter or splitters to provide a UHF signal to 9 devices in one room and 5 devices in the other. Would the insertion losses caused by this amount of passive splitting be workable?
Also, would this would mean that I would need an active...
Yes, the problems seem to occur evenings and mornings.
I think the aerial is less than 10 metres above ground level but not much less (2 story building with the aerial close to the apex of the roof in the loft) and points through a single layer brick gable end (timber frame construction with a...
See my reply to Rodders53 for more info on my setup.
I freely admit my ignorance of signal reception but I seem to remember that you can have problems with harmonics from other frequencies causing interference.
However, thinking about about it, no amount of filtering will have any affect in...
As mentioned in the post, a Humax FVP5000T Freeview box and 4 network connected HDHomeRun boxes (plus an LG and Samsung TV) connected to the same aerial feed are not affected to the same degree (some pixellation but able to view the program) by interference during periods of "abnormal"...
Apologies if I posted on the wrong forum, it says "HDR-FOX T2 Freeview Recorder at the top of the thread" did someone move it to the correct forum for me?
I have a problem with the BBC MUX that is on CH48 on the Midhurst Transmitter on my HDRFOX-T2 boxes, usually at times of high pressure weather patterns with loss of signal for programs on that MUX.
I either lose the feed for programs on that MUX completely or get very poor signal strength...
