Update: After having this fix running for almost two week I thought I would update my findings so far.

There is a selection to lock out devices that are set to go through the VPN tunnel if for some reason the connection to the VPN is lost. I didn't set everything to go through the tunnel and didn't think it was a big deal. After about a week though the tunnel lost connection for whatever reason and I don't know how long it was down. So once I discovered it I changed that setting to lock out the devices if it's lost again. I have both firesticks going through it obviously, but also my MBP, iPhone, and iPad. So from now on I won't have to worry about the phone company knowing I am streaming.

The security cameras have been working fine as well. MY major problem is that I started out with 8 cameras when we bought the system and now for whatever reason we are down to only three working cameras and the night vision went out on one of them last week.

I am looking into buying another system. The one I have is a wired Swann system that has a DVR. Those wires are a pain in the a$$. I am looking at possibly buying a Netgear Arlo system which is truly wireless. I haven't bought yet and was wondering if anyone here has any thoughts or know anyone whom has one?
