You should have read on. The local IP is *not* unprotected, as the ngrok local executable implements a barrier between the internet and the local LMS service. Also, Alexa skills *cannot* work with a VPN by design. FInally, this is not about outward remote access to your music files - it's about inward remote access to control your server's playback from the Alexa cloud service while listening at home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
