I am running a Windows 10 Pro NVR using BlueIris v5 (V5.4.9.16 x64) with ZeroTier for remote access. I have the Windows Defender Firewall active on the NVR with SonicWall as the Firewall for the network. Version 5.4.9.18 has NOT been installed yet. It has been working fine from both desktop and iPhone, until today. Today, after a Windows 10 reboot I don't see the ZeroTier connection in BlueIris. I know the ZeroTier service is running. I can access the NVR from my ZeroTier connection outside the network.
When I go to the Web server in BlueIris I can no longer see the ZeroTier Virtual connection under Local,internal (LAN) access -> Adaptors. All I see is the IP address of the NVR. Ipconfig shows both the local IP of the NVR and the ZeroTier One IP.
I have restarted the NVR. No difference. I have tried disabling the Windows 10 firewall on the NVR. No difference. I have disabled and re-enabled the ZeroTier connector for the NVR. No difference. I have NOT tried uninstalling and reinstalling ZeroTier on the NVR. Has anyone experienced this with BlueIris and ZeroTier? Any ideas other than uninstalling and reinstalling ZeroTier on the NVR? I would prefer not to reinstall because that would likely give me a different IP address on the NVR.
As an aside, I believe there is a way to define a "server" in the ZeroTier Flow Rules. I have not tinkered with the Flow Rules. Does anyone know if the "server" setting in the ZeroTier acts like a static IP?

Re: BlueIris not recognizing ZeroTier virtual adapter
Thx for the feedback. This worked for me. Now I just need to figure out how to configure the Win10 Firewall. I've opened UDP port 9993 both incoming and outgoing. Is there a ZeroTier service that I need to add? Remote access is working as long as I disable the firewall on the NVR. I have a solid firewall for the entire network.
Re: BlueIris not recognizing ZeroTier virtual adapter
I identified the Zero Tier exe that needs to be in the Outbound Rules. It should be there automatically when you use the WIndows ZeroTier installer. The exe is: C:\ProgramData\ZeroTier\One\zerotier-one_x64.exe. Note that it is in the ProgramData folder. This was the only Outbound Rule. The Inbound Rules are both TCP and UDP for Port 9993. I'll be able to test this after business hours to ensure that these firewall rules are all I need. The should all be installed automatically but I must have reset something that removed the rules from the firewall.
