I have a client that desires to set up video surveillance in which the EDVR is password accessible from the internet to allow for remote viewing. Here’s the current network setup, and the issue I am guessing will occur upon implementation.
Server 2012 R2 Domain controller computer with 2 NICS. There are two networks. One network is on the 172.20.1.0/24 subnet and this is the one connected directly to the internet through the gateway at 172.20.1.1. The other network is on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet. NAT and LAN routing is installed to allow those on the 192 subnet access to the internet through the 172 subnet gateway.
The EDVR will be on the 192 subnet. Due to its physical location, the other subnet just isn’t an option. On the Comcast router I presently have port 443 open for the server at 172.20.1.2. This is necessary for their credit card software to function. Not an issue since that software is on the same 172 subnet.
Still on the router, I tried opening port 80 to the EDVR at 192.168.1.10,but as I expected, it doesn’t work like I want and need it to. In the end, ports 80, 6624 and 6625 will need to be accessed to the EDVR at 192.168.1.10. It seems obvious to me that I have to open port 80 on the router, to the server at 172.20.1.2. Then somehow (I don’t know how) configure NAT and/or LAN routing to forward the port 80 request to 192.168.1.10 on the other subnet.
Is there a write up somewhere that will inform and teach me how to do this? I’ve only spent a little bit of time looking, but apparently I’m not using the right keywords for searching for this specific type of information. Most of what I’m finding I don’t quite grasp it, because it’s for scenarios way to far beyond my need.
