This looks like a great tool that I'll keep in my back pocket. I'm sure it will help many people. I'd still like to see the ability for using the URL instead of IP. I filed a feature request bug to ask for this. The VPN solution, while offering other benefits which makes it tempting, is opening a much bigger potential security hole. Opening the port to the slimserver means someone can listen to my music and control my music. The slimserver user has no rights to execute or read/write any other data than that. Opening a VPN, if there is any security breach of the service, opens my full network. The workaround is to ping the URL before connecting to see what the current IP address is, and then use that in SqueezePlay. I'd like to skip that step. -- wactuary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wactuary's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=233 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53047 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
