Greetings all,
I'm in a predicament and hope someone can help. I've tried browsing forums on XDA/other sites, implemented some suggestions, but nothing seems to work.
I have a camera that is connected to my laptop that streams live video (sort of a make-**** surveillance system). I want to access this stream externally. The camera supports DDNS, and has been enabled. I have software installed on my laptop to auto-update the ip. However, in order to view this video externally, I need to find a way to open up some ports (as defined by the camera) when tethering from my rooted note 2 on T-Mobile: 8554 (for RTSP), and 8000(server). According to canyouseeme.org, these ports are blocked. The two other ports that are needed for this setup, 443 (HTTPS), and 80 (HTTP), seem to be working fine. Please note that I have DDNS enabled for this setup.
Some forums suggested using a VPN. So I tried. I enabled privateinternetaccess (they have their own app) on my phone, but then my computer won't connect to the internet (note that tethering is still active). When I use PIA's Windows software, the computer connects via the VPN but no difference is made in terms of the ports being opened, etc.
HowardForums suggested using a proxy/SOCKS. I configured my note 2 to use a proxy server via an app, but then the same thing happens: the computer won't connect to the internet.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Port forwarding, etc? I know this is a lot, but any help is much appreciated. If I left anything out/can answer any questions, please let me know. Thanks again.
**Disclaimer** - I have already posted this in a forum in XDA Developers, but have not received a response. I assume this forum, networking, would be the more appropriate place to post this question.
