Hello there,
I am using opnsense and would like to remotely access my local ip cameras.
I could ask my ISP for a public IP and set up wireguard.
Or I could run RustDesk (an open source TeamViewer alternative) on an rpi on my local network.
Or I could use tailscale (or some other alternative to pinhole the traffic through the ISP's nat)
Or something else?
Tbh, I'm a bit scared of using a public IP address, and even opening a port on WAN for wireguard (maybe it's because of my lack of knowledge).
Having the same public IP as dozens of ISPs customers could also "anonymize" traffic against 3rd party servers.
My ISP has a good reputation, however, he doesn't provide much info about his network, routers, security etc...
Not sure if using something like tailscale or running remote desktop would actually be more secure and worth the extra effort to set up and maintain.
If using public IP I could probably buy an extra (cheaper) router and set up a subnet just for my devices. But wouldn't that be overkill when I can literally set firewall rules for vlan interface?
I don't know. What are your thoughts and suggestions?
Thank you!
