Enter the host name of the device and IP address of the host to bypass DNS name resolution. There's a sample within the file.

***Copy file to desktop, edit it, and then copy back to "etc" folder. Host file does not have a file extension.

I use a Mac. I am running the VPN client on the router so that ALL traffic from within my network goes through the VPN. Are you saying to edit the host file on the machine that I am trying to access the cameras with from outside my home network? If so, I use an iphone to do that mostly. And my questions are so that I understand, cause I am just smart enough about networks to be dumb. LOL
