GV-Mobile VPN is a free app that works with the cloud-based platform GV-Cloud to allow GeoVision mobile apps on separate mobile devices to connect to a virtual private network (VPN). You can create multiple VPNs on the GV-Cloud platform, allowing flexible deployment across different teams or locations. PCs can also join the same VPN by installing the GV-VPN desktop utility, allowing GeoVision software to connect. By linking PCs and mobile devices through a unified VPN, GV-VPN and GV-Mobile VPN eliminate the need for complicated router configurations.Β  For questions or suggestions, contact GeoVision Support at support@geovision.com.tw.
Terminology
 - GV-Mobile Apps: GeoVision mobile applications such as GV-Eye, GV-Face, etc.
 - GV-Software: GeoVision desktop software including GV-VMS, GV-Recording Server, and related applications 
 VPN Hardware Options: GV-Cloud Bridge Series

About

Baseguard

BaseGuard connects all your devices into a single secure mesh network. Install it, sign in, and every device you add can talk to every other device directly. That's it. HOW IT WORKS Each device gets a stable private IP and finds other devices on its own. Connections go directly between devices, not through a central server. If direct connection isn't possible, traffic is relayed automatically. You don't need to configure anything. All traffic is encrypted end-to-end with WireGuard. Keys are managed for you. WHAT YOU GET Zero Configuration Add a device, it joins the network. No config files, no firewall rules, no port forwarding. Direct P2P Connections Devices connect to each other at wire speed. No middleman slowing things down. Smart DNS Reach any device by name. Type "database.internal" instead of memorizing IP addresses. Tag-Based Access Control Control who can reach what using tags and policies. Not IP addresses, not subnets. Identity-based, default-deny. Full Audit Trail Every connection, every policy change, every access attempt is logged. SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR ready. Multi-Org Support Run multiple isolated networks from one account. Great for agencies and MSPs managing different clients. WHO USES BASEGUARD - Remote teams who need secure access to internal tools - DevOps teams connecting CI/CD to private infrastructure - Companies running hybrid or multi-cloud setups - Anyone managing IoT or edge devices at scale - Hobbyists running home labs, game servers, or self-hosted apps
