Re: Using An Old Mac Mini as a VPN Gateway

[Gordon Smith]

I doubt this would work for you and I’ll tell you why.  Apple only allows one 
interface to be used at once on their IP stack.  This is a modified BSD IP 
stack.  Only way you could do something like this would be to use something 
like IPRouterX.

Kind regards

Using An Old Mac Mini as a VPN Gateway

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

I'd be interested in others opinions as to whether my idea can be put into 
practise.

I have a Denon AVR2113 Surround-Sound Receiver in my lounge which as - amongst 
its many features - an Internet Radio tuner which I access with my IOS and 
Android devices.

The big problem is of course that many stations I may wish to listen to are 
"geoblocked".

Listening to them on a Mac or IOS/Android device is simple enough as I can 
connect to one of Witopia's VPN servers so I was wondering, could I perhaps use 
an old Mac Mini computer I have here as a VPN gateway?

By that I mean, could I connect the Mac Mini to my Wi-Fi Home network for data 
input and use the LAN on the Mac Mini as an output for output of VPN data from 
one of Witopia's servers?
