I have a domain that i have used for years.      

 

Mail.example.com  points to google with a CName and MX records  so I log directly into my g suite account.

 

I am trying to set up  "cams.example.com"   with that directed to my home (static) ip address/server.   this also has to be specifically directed to port 81.  

 

Can anyone help me with this?

What issue are you having?  It's easy to specify a nonstandard port like http://cams example.com:81

 

I wouldn't submit any credentials without ssl or VPN however.

Im just trying to figure out how to do it.  you say its easy, but the only way i have found is to setup a nginx webser with reverse proxy on the same machine. another guy tells me it should all be port 443 traffic (https)  instead of port 80... i hear what their saying. makes sense, i just cant figure out how to make it happen! I dont want to put to big of a gaping security hole in my home network!

The more secure solution would be to establish a VPN and connect to your cams over that once you authenticate.

sure, but I want other users to just use the web address. I have a VPN for my personal stuff, this should be public. 

 

**public but with credentials
