In iOS devices, this is just a VPN connection to be installed. You need to have port 1723 (I think) opened for PPTP and set username/password accordingly on your server. In iPeng, I had to manually set the address of LMS I also have an OpenVPN installed (1194 I think) , with a self-signed certificated that I also installed on my iPhone - It gave the possibility to setup the tunnel on demand. It was a much more complicated setup I had to do and I have notes somewhere if you are interested. Had to create certificates and install them with an Apple tool named "iphone config utility" - it was at the time of iOS 6 ... so might be outdated and much simplier options might exist today. I also had issues with a problem named triangle routing because my VPN server was not my default gateway, which I understood is not the case for you. Maybe somebody with a fresher experience will tell you, or I can dig out for my notes PS: I do not know this router nor the firmware in it. If it is VPN servers, this is easy, otherwise, it might just be passthroughs in which case you need to have a real server somewhere LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2.

[slim] Help me set up VPN for remote playback w/ iPeng etc
I've just setup my router, LMS, and iPeng for playback from outside my network. I'm forwarding ports on my router and only managed to setup user/password for security. For that reason I don't actually use it much, I only turn on the forwarding when I head over to a friend's house, etc., where I know I'll probably use it. I'd like to setup VPN but have no experience doing so. I have an Asus router running a Shibby build of Tomato firmware. In the VPN Tunneling section there are OpenVPN Server, OpenVPN Client, PPTP Server, PPTP Client, PPTP Online options. Which do I setup if any, and how? Can anyone help me, or point me to a guide? Also, what do I need to do on the iOS/Android device? Thanks!

I saw it in the Audio Advisor catalog advertised as a "squeezebox replacement," but like you I couldn't see the value. No DAC! So a $3000 server?

[slim] Bryston BDP-2. What's the point?
I received an audiophile catalog today with Bryston BDP-2 shown front and center. Cost is *$2995!* It's only a digital music streamer - not even a DAC. I wouldn't dream of buying one for that price, but the glowing reviews of it baffle me. Basically it pulls the MP3/FLAC/whatever file from a hard drive or something via Ethernet or USB, sends it off to -another- DAC that you buy, and outputs those 0's and 1's to SPDIF. And unless I'm missing something obvious, those 0's and 1's get reclocked again by the upstream preamp/receiver that you already own before being sent to the speakers, right? They also admit its just an Intel Atom board running Linux under the hood, with high-end inputs, outputs and power supply of course. :rolleyes: So what am I missing here? Audiophiles are gushing over it, and no doubt it has high build quality, but I fail to see how it's even -possible- for this to output better quality music than any other run-of-the-mill squeezebox _-especially-_ considering it doesn't even come with a DAC. Yes, no? Am I far off base here? How are these owners hearing magical unicorn farts coming from it? valnar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59626 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102816 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
