BlueIris and HughesNet Gen5
New HughesNet user and need some direction...I use BlueIris (BI) software to remotely monitor security cameras off site periodically...BI needs a WAN network IP address and a :8081 added to get out (...
You won't be able to remotely access your BlueIris software on the WAN on Hughesnet as you are behind Carrier Grade Nat (CGN). Hughesnet doesn't support running any form of servers (in this case, BlueIris) on residential connections for remote accessibility.
If you need remote security camera monitoring, you will need to use something like a NEST cam where the camera uploads to a central server that you are able to access.

Hi Corrosive - your explanation is spot on, but as a customer, not acceptable. I *need* to have products like BlueIris work. Products that push to the cloud have their own special issues (like Nest and Amcrest).
I guess I'm left with the question - What can H/N do to address this issue? Perhaps provide fixed IP addresses?
Thoughts?
