I own a domain I've used for years. Mail.example.com directs to Google via CName and MX records, so I access my G Suite account directly. I need to configure "cams.example.com" to point to my home IP address/server, using a static IP, and ensure it's set to port 81. Can someone assist me with this setup?

You're encountering a problem with specifying an unusual port, such as http://cams example.com:81. It's important to use secure connections like SSL or VPN before submitting any credentials.

I'm just trying to understand the process. You mentioned it seems simple, but you've only managed it by configuring Nginx with a reverse proxy on the same machine. Another person suggests using port 443 for HTTPS instead of port 80. That sounds logical. It makes sense, but I'm not sure how to implement it without exposing my home network to unnecessary risks.

The best approach is to set up a VPN and link to your cameras after successful authentication.

Use the provided web address for public access. Ensure your VPN is disabled or configured correctly if needed.
