I'm not up to speed on vpn tunneling even i do it at work with what we have installed at our work pc's so yes you get a secure tunnel to your local network that is the optimal solution. finding software that does it for my server and for example my iPad would be " something " or maybe router software that does it. I just haven got hold of enough information to get a clue on where to start digging for further info. btw it is not only on your network, i do sometimes portforward the server outside my network so your all welcome ;) . Here tunneling would be much better if I manage it, my "security" is that the server holds only music files ( that are backed up elsewhere ) and nothing personal at all. I'll then turn of the router ports after a session, however i find spotify very usefull when travelling nowdays... Oh sorry to oftopic maybe, I shall make time to test the new release this weekend, I'm watching movies now, it can not be music all the time ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
