Preparation

The device has 3 physical network interfaces:

 

  1. Ethernet WAN (port 1 - left)
  2. Ethernet LAN (port 2 - right)
  3. WiFi LAN

 

Important

The WAN port must be connected to the internal network where you have access to the cameras and the Internet.

 

 

LAN will only be used for device configuration.

Step 1 - Setup Firewall and Port Forwarding MANGO device

Initial Setup

Connect to computer via LAN 192.168.8.1.

 

If the device is new, it will initially require configuration and prompt you to assign a root password. Once the initial configuration is complete, you can proceed with setting up the VPN and portforwarding:

 

Setup VPN

  1. Go to VPN > OpenVPN Client


  2. Normally there is only NordVPN as a provider, do a new provider “Add Manually“ (it may already exist).

     
  3. Go to New Provider and upload the .ovpn configuration file


  1. Apply config

  2. Connect to the VPN

Setup Port Forwarding

 

  1. go to NETWORK > Firewall > Port Forwards


  2. Create port forwarding to connect via the web from the VPN (192.168.8.1 probably won't appear in the list and will have to be entered manually)

The external zone must be ovpnclient. This will allow the VSaaS technical department to remotely manage the device.
 

  1. Create port forwarding to connect to the camera/etc. (in this case, we're forwarding 192.168.8.20:22). On-site forwarding to the camera will likely be done via the WAN zone, using the IP corresponding to the connected interface and port 80.

Step 2 - Find cameras

SSH port

Install nmap
