General Discussion / How can I keep my security camera setup off line and still acces it locally

« on: September 16, 2024, 11:16:47 pm »

Hi everyone.
I am putting together an ip camera system that connects to an NVR.
I want to put the NVR in a safe place and access it over my network.

My router runs OPNsense, it has four ports, it is in default configuration
with nothing set up yet, igc1 is the Wan port and igc0 is the lan port.

That leaves two more ports on the router, igc3 and igc4.
Is there a way I can set one of these ports / igc3 for example, so that I can connect my NVR
to it and access it over the lan / igc1 port, but make sure the NVR connected
to igc3 in this example can not access the WAN / internet.

I am completely new to OPNsense, networking and ip cameras, so a simple
solution is what am after.

Thanks to all.

General Discussion / Secure boot and fast boot

« on: August 28, 2024, 12:01:46 am »

Hi everyone, my first post.
Should I disable secure boot and fast boot in the BIOS.
I want to take it one step at a time and I usually disable these settings when I install Linux.

Is there any security benefit to be had by leaving both of these settings enabled.

Thanks to all.
