The free version of the local LAN server accepts connections over HTTP only. The technology Agent DVR uses will work locally over HTTP but for remote connections it needs SSL. If you want secured remote access to Agent DVR you will need to use the remote web portal which has an end-to-end secured connection to Agent DVR.

Agent from v3.4.4.0+ supports SSL connections on the local network but only if you have an active subscription or a business license.
If you are setting up SSL for remote access be sure to also port forward ports 3478 and 50000-50010 for the STUN and TURN servers
You will need a DNS address forwarded into your Agent DVR Server. You can get a free DNS (A record - translates a domain name to your public IP address) from http://my.noip.com. For free, trusted SSL certificates see https://letsencrypt.org/
Setting up SSL, DNS and port forwarding access can be complex and is not guaranteed to work - we recommend you use our servers for remote access.

Tip: Once your SSL and DNS is configured you can browse to it on your mobile device and use the tool menu in the browser to install it as an application.

SSL install on Windows

Follow the letsencrypt instructions to install a certificate on your computer.

When you have a certificate generated (a .pem file) you can use openssl.exe to convert it to a .pfx file:
openssl.exe pkcs12 -export -out C:\Certbot\live\youragentserver.ddns.net\certificate.pfx -inkey C:\Certbot\live\youragentserver.ddns.net\privkey.pem -in C:\Certbot\live\youragentserver.ddns.net\fullchain.pem

Right click the generated .pfx file and click Install. Install it to your local machine.

Bind the certificate to the IP address:port and application:

netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 certhash=YOUR_CERT_HASH appid={642c92c9-a595-4315-b9cb-3cfdc902805b}

Where YOUR_CERT_HASH is the thumbprint from your SSL certificate which you can find using "certmgr" from the start menu. Open CertMgr, expand Personal - Certificates and double click your certificate. The thumbprint is on the Details tab.

When you have generated and installed the certificate, open Agent DVR, click on Server Icon - Settings - Local Server tab and set the SSL Port to 443 and click OK.

At this point you should now be able to load the UI (in this example) under https://your.server.address .

SSL install on Linux and OSX
SSL setup for Agent 4.4.0.0+

Follow the letsencrypt instructions to install a certificate on your computer.

When you have a certificate generated (a .pem file) you can use openssl.exe to convert it to a .pfx file (make sure you are in the same folder your certificate was saved to):
openssl pkcs12 -export -out certificate.pfx -inkey privkey.pem -in fullchain.pem

In Agent's local UI, click on Server Icon, Server Settings, select Local Server tab

Specify the port you want it to run on in SSL Port (default is 443). Provide the path to your certificate file under SSL Certificate. Specify the password you used to create the certificate under SSL Password. Click OK. Note: these fields are only visible on Linux/ OSX platforms.

At this point you should now be able to load the UI (in this example) under https://your.server.address .

SSL for older Agent versions

Setting up SSL on Unix is different to Windows. You will need to use a reverse proxy. See NGINX Reverse Proxy for an example.

Troubleshooting

Use the regular http port (8090) and set the SSL port under Server Settings - Local Server - SSL port to 0 to disable.
