In this case, set it up as an openvpn "client", and have it try connect continuously to somesuch.dyndns.com (the PC or the router at home) On the PC or router at home run both openvpn and dyndns DNS daemon to refresh the pointer to the IP used for home. On the openvpn "server" instance use bridged mode to extend your home network to the remote router and SB3. Player/server discovery will work, playing FLAC files without rebuffering will probably be a bit difficult, but everything else should work perfect. On both sides use certificates to identify both ends and allow connection. You may want to use a cipher for the tunnel (which will hammer the router a bit) but if you don't the effect is that someone listening on the connection will be able to read the data stream. In this specific case I don't see this is an issue. Handshake always stays secure by use of certificate/private key. Openvpn is an ssl VPN, it is very robust and resilent to NAT.
I guess you can do about the same using ssh, certificates, map ports and somehow use a daemon on the router to reconnect. But all this looks so much like openvpn -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 3 SB Classic, 1 SB Boom iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.6 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: MusicIP Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Find cover art by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat, Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89919
