Re: [slim] Remote Access to LMS Options
Corporate VPN solutions very much frown upon allowing local access to anything, even if you have local admin in windows (so much stuff is policy driven) so the only real option is to password protect and open up your lms to the Internet. Seems crazy to have to send traffic to the office to come back to your house, but there it is. I actually tunnel X11 over SSH to run a web browser on my home server onto my work desktop. Works. Is slow though.. drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105476 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Remote Access to LMS Options
Then Wonton's suggestion (post #10) is creative and could bring you the web interface. And since you're home, it might be easy enough to enable/disable the port forwarding rule on your gateway just for the moments you need "remote" access to LMS. 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=105476 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Remote Access to LMS Options
Yes, I do control LMS stuff with my tablet, which of course is connected to my home environment. Would be nice to just have it in a browser window, since I am on a computer (albeit in a different domain) altogether. And yes the VPN I use tunnels *everything* into the corporate environment. Cisco AnyConnect is not just a VPN, it's also a security client and hence quite dictatorial, at least the way we have it configured. ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine (on VMware Player) running Ubuntu 12.04 + LMS 7.7.5 System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- Totem Element Fire Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> NAD D7050 -> Totem DreamCatcher + Velodyne Minivee Sub Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado PS500e/Shure 1540 pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105476 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Remote Access to LMS Options
Similar situation for me: the VPN takes all the nw traffic and I don't want to fiddle on that part.

Re: [slim] Remote Access to LMS Options
It's not the most secure option, but you could forward port 9000 (tcp) to the IP address of the LMS. Get your external IP address from whatismyip.com then open yourIPaddress:9000 while VPN'd. wonton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63558 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105476 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Your PC still has to be able to reach the local gateway, so reaching a local server is usually just a question of pointing to it. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.

I would say this is the sensible answer. After all if you're using a dedicated work PC and a VPN that redirects the default route to HQ, although you have admin rights, the intention was probably not to allow users install anything that would open the PC to the outside world. With an app on a personal device you'd have a perfectly good experience and the work PC can stay in its cocoon. If you don't really want to do that, or if the security policy is not that stringent, just start another network card on the PC (wifi or ethernet, physical or virtual) and connect it to your home network. Your work PC will have one connection to each locations at the same time. That will work unless both networks have the same numbering scheme, e.g. 192.168.0.0/24. Just remember that if you were given remote access to the work network, an admin there might access to your work PC just the same and examine what's going on. The right decision depends on what your organization (really) wants. (BTW, years ago in a time of thinner pipes, VPNs that would redirect the default route to the remote site weren't the norm. That was considered a super secure setup. Nowadays the "hide my ass/make me appear as being in another country" feature has made VPNs popular, so redirecting the default route has become a default setup from which it can be surprisingly difficult to evade...) 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=105476 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I dont understand his setup. A vpn means nothing cause there are point to point vpns aswell as net to net vpns. If he uses a point to pont vpn than a single computer is connected over vpn to another single computer ( seems he uses that setup) If thats true you need the remote pc to walk into the other pcs in the remote network. If its a net to net vpn the whole net is connected together. Kvm is another feature some call software like vnc also kvm.
