NAT-traversal with OpenVPN
You can select the "VAST Server with OpenVPN" option when installing the VAST server. A
remote connection from NVR via a 3G/4G/LTE network can be made through an OpenVPN
tunnel. When the OpenVPN option is selected, an OpenVPN server will be installed with the
VAST server.
HMAC authentication and TLS encryption over an encrypted UDP connection are made effort-
lessly using the traversal methodology.
