I cannot view video on WAN, I can on LAN

[freebird317]

Describe The Problem:

I cannot view video on WAN, I can on LAN. I was running a netgear router and all was working fine. I turned my router in to an AP and stood up pfSense. In Home I can only see video streaming if I am on LAN.

I thought it was determined on the Reddit thread that it was related to your firewall?

Wow fast response.

I am trying to find that out. :) Sorry I did not know you were the guy I was talking to on Reddit.

I know nothing of ffmpeg.

I was thinking the problem might be with the encoding?? Is there another encoder I can use other than libx264?

Like is said i know nothing about FFmpeg, can you tell me if my config makes sense

You should remove -c:a aac -b:a 128k -c:v libx264 -b:v 2500k -preset superfast from the end of your source lines, not sure what you are trying to do with that.

If your camera outputs h264, you can try copy, or if you’re on a Raspberry Pi you can try h264_omx.

I don’t see why the codec would be related if it works on LAN though, since it would be the same for both.
