Ha I hadnt even noticed! I saw so many uncredited posts recently I didnt think it was already discussed. Obviously didn't bother searching either. My mistake xD
Tbf I didnt even post this for credit. I just wanted to kickstart a discussion but looks like its already got traction on the other post so im happy
Probably the federated nature of it... i know the whole point of it is decentralisation but with the likes of reddit or discord at least you could attempt to have all your content salted or deleted (whether it actually is is another story) from a single server. Knowing anything and everything you post on here will stick around forever no matter what you do, by design, makes me uneasy.
I use wireguard. One network is behind cgnat so i just get that client to connect outbound to the other client to initiate the tunnel (instead of trying to connect to IT) and it works just fine.
I did try tailscale once upon a time but it was so clunky and confusing for me...i just wanted to simply access my entire networks remotely without any overhead
Configure them both locally and ensure you have a connection before you move the pi to another country
If you're behind a CGNAT on one network, that'll change some things. That network will have to be the client.
(If both are behind CGNAT, you're out of luck and cant use this - will have to be tailscale or other method)
If using a domain name make sure its always pointing to your ip (in case it's not static)
I think if you set allowed ip as 0.0.0.0/0 on the client it'll route all traffic.
Good suggestions in the chat. Ill throw in my setup for your consideration.
I have several cameras, specifically with Ingenic SOCs on which ive flashed Thingino firmware (foss) so thats a bit of security on the camera side. Some others like hikvision ive picked up but not gotten around to setting up yet. But itll be plug and play as youll see next.
Next i have a router flashed with freshtomato but openwrt is also an option. On that ive set up a vlan for the cameras that do not have internet or inter vlan access. So even if i didnt have custom camera firmware, they still wouldnt be able to send it anywhere.
Next my home vlan has one way access in to the "camera vlan" so i can view from my network.
Finally wireguard server (on the home vlan so it has internet access) so i can monitor remotely
I just pull the rtsp streams. Havent gotten round to feed analysis yet but i used to use zoneminder. But i hear frigate and another software (cant remember off my head) supports for coral tpu quite well even after it has been dropped from support
Thanks for the correction!
