Why not use an Apache reverse proxy (mod_proxy/ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse) setup in front of the SqueezeCenter web service? You can make the Apache httpd accessible remotely, and configure it to require password authentication if you're not on the local network.
That said, it's better to use the password protection built into SqueezeCenter even for local network connections -- let your web browser "remember" the username & password if you like. Password protection helps protect you against some web attack vectors, most notably DNS Rebinding. That said, 6.5.x has a number of vulnerabities even with password protection enabled, and I haven't seen any real evidence of any attackers exploiting the vulnerabilities. -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42353 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
