I'm used to setting up Ovpn, but I admit I don't use it to extend the reach of my LMS server. However, I can safely say that if you use an "old style", kernel-level bridging setup for openvpn (ie: define your own tap and plug it in your own bridge before openvpn starts), broadcasts work absolutely fine. Anything goes through. (It even becomes a bit of a problem if you want to allocate IPs via a local DHCP server: you have to filter lease offers from the remote DHCP server across the bridge to avoid them reaching local clients...)
You can bridge in site-to-site mode with perfectly good results even over a thin pipe. Rumors of broadcasts eating up all the bandwidth are greatly exaggerated. Put a wifi card in the Pi, add the interface to the bridge, run hostapd and your local players will be fine. 4 SB 3 Libratone Zipp Mini iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput, Triode's BBC iPlayer by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson AirPlay Bridge by philippe_44 WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld Auto Dim Display, 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=105324
