when i click "Am I online?" it says, Error! after my URL for streaming (port 8081, of course).

I checked my IPv4 firewall settings---all ports are allowed Traffic in and Traffic out. UPnP is enabled on my router.

What am I missing?
Thx!

ok, figured it out! I had to add that port to my firewall and do some more port forwarding things.

I'd like to be able to make it so that only I can access my Yawcam on MY phone, remotely. How do I block all other IPs and just allow my one IP to view it? I clicked, 'Define IP Address,' and added my phone's IP, thinking that's the way to do it, but my phone has a dynamic IP (i guess all do??). Any ideas/suggestions?

also, what are the chances someone can access my LAN via 8081 now that it's open?
thx!
Jim
