Lessons Learned Installing NI Targets on the Edge
summary
Claims a working field solution: targets (sbRIO, cRIO, PXI) get reachable via no-ip dynamic DNS using a Python background updater; encrypted access uses WireGuard in-kernel VPN (initially lost on reboot until persisted); host firewall becomes manageable with an iptables GUI script that whitelists only needed ports; battery life improves by completely cutting power with an external RTC power switch and auto‑wake every 10 minutes; system streams 800 Mbps on a 9629 and is deployed successfully.
