IP cameras are configured using the web interface. In some cases it may be necessary to access remotely the cameras, through an OpenVPN connection installed on a gateway running Ubuntu 16.06. This article will describe how to configure the Ubuntu Gateway so all the necessary ports are forwarded (NAT) to the camera and the camera's web interface can be reached through the VPN
