As HeneryH said above, it is like being directly connected to your home network. As far as I understand, I am then connecting via the BI5 LAN settings, not the WAN settings, and my usual mobile client username and password works.
Are you sure your OpenVpn is working correctly ?
When you start OpenVpn on your mobile device, does it connect and show connection stats on the phone ? I then just minimise OpenVpn, and start the BI client.
I can also verify LAN connection by being able to use LAN based programs such as TVMosaic or Emby, which are all blocked for internet usage.

Re: settings for Blue Iris and OpenVPN
Thanks TimG.
OpenVpn is working. I can log into my ASUS router and see all the devices on my LAN and change router settings etc., and I can see my IPCAM while connected via OpenVpn. And yes it does say connect and show the connection stats.
I am not using the BlueIris client though, I am using the web user interface and logging in over port 81. Eg. 192.168.1.x:81, where x is the LAN IP address of my Blue Iris installation. The web interface works on my LAN no problem.
If I turn Blue Iris "Use secure session keys and login page" on, then I get a log in window for Blue Iris and can indeed log in and see via the browser. If I don't turn on secure session keys I get a browser generic login for user and password. Nothing works in that login window. Windows or Blue Iris passwords don't work. I don't want the use secure sessions key set because that screws up my AI Tool because my get request to Blue Iris (url is http://192.168.1.34:81/admin?trigger&ca ... mypassword) is rejected and my AI tool logs "ERROR: Could not trigger URL".
When logged in with OpenVpn my private IP is 10.8.0.6. It seems possible that the Windows machine sees me as not on the LAN even though I am on it because of my IP address. Possibly an OpenVpn issue?
