How do we block penetration attempts since some ports must be opened to enable app access from cell phones?
Re: Firewall
I have used OpenVPN (free) in the past, but it was a bear to set up. It was secure but it required you to enable it on the mobile device before starting the BI5 app. Not good for WAF.
I presently use ZeroTier (Also free). This was much simpler to set up and use. A bit of a learning curve, but you add it to your BI5 PC, mobile device etc and enable them in the ZT online webpage. It basically gives you an extra virtual NIC on every device that connects all of your nodes together as if they were on your home LAN - even if you are at a remote location. I think TailScale would do a similar job but I haven't used it.
Also good for Plex, Emby etc.
