I really wish there were detailed, updated instructions on how to access via VPN or SSH tunnel.
I spent days reading (the wrong) instructions, finally managed to set up a VPN server on my Asus router that exports a .ovpn file that you then import into e.g. the Android OpenVPN Connect app. This way, I can access e.g. from 4G mobile network my IP addresses at my home network. However, all my equipment are also VPN clients, of privateinternetaccess.com, that encrypts traffic for ISP, provides geolocation etc. The Asus router has functionality for running both a VPN server and being a VPN client at the same time, but I could never get it to work in spite of lots of research - instructions are often outdated, based on old firmwares, depend on which router you have etc. In the LAN - DHCP server config page of my Asus Merlin router, now when I currently have the VPN server running, it says "* In conflict with the VPN server settings:192.168.1.2-31". Which is weird because I have not specified that address range for my VPN server, see below. So I think I've got to the point where I've narrowed down the problem to something to do with subnets ? Like some routers follow the 192.168.1.X scheme, others the 10.0.0.1 or whatever it is. The VPN server on the router now has, after I followed yet another set of instructions, the "VPN Subnet / Netmask" listed as the 10.0.0.1 system - which, as far as I've read, avoid conflicts with the 192.168.1.X system the router itself follows, yet at the same time allows clients connected to the router VPN server to communicate with those on the other subnet - otherwise it would be pointless, wouldn't it. Any pointers about this ? Surely there is someone here with an Asus router with Merlin software that has done this before, especially since everyone keeps saying "use a VPN for LMS" ? Didn't know an SSH tunnel also was an option. Any suggested links for reading into that in a way that would be relevant for how I should set it up to securely access LMS remotely ? I strongly encourage the honourable "people in charge" of this forum and the LMS documentation etc. to provide instructions on the site on how to set up secure, remote LMS access. Thank you very much for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ echable's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69542 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111300 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
