It's not my music that I am worried about people accessing, but there are several other important work related things on my home network that I would be concerned about. The only incoming 'holes' on my network are VPN and SSH. If I am constantly on the move, or my remote IP changes, the "block incoming connections/allowed IP addresses" setting is not of much use (and I think it is relatively easy to foil it and expoit the weakness to compromise the entire system). And I don't want to have to VNC/RDP or even port forward the web settings every time my remote IP changes. It's too geeky. I just want to be able to take my touch wherever I am (often outside the US), connect to the local network, turn on the VPN, and then it's like I'm at home with my own music, pandora, last.fm, etc. I do use the SSH tunneling features for ports 3483 and 9000 with softsqueeze, and that works fine for remote listening on the computer. However that will not work for a Touch. The TCP ports you mention, work fine with Softsqueeze, SB2s and Booms, but the Squeezeplay devices (Touch, Controller, Receiver, and SqueezePlay desktop) all require additional UDP ports for proper functioning, and I think VPN is the only solution for that. -- Nikhil Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83488 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Unless you're worried about someone listening to your music at the same time you do, use the Settings/advanced/security "block incoming connections/allowed IP addresses" function. Remotely, use whatismyip.com to get your address and then RDP/VNC through your modem's firewall to SBS and add that remote address. You'll have to open-up 3483/9000. I do this regularly with both my boom and SoftSqueeze. Unless you have very high outbound bandwidth (or you're playing mp3's rather than flac/m4a lossless,) you'll need to install lame and set the remote player's bitrate limiting on. Don't forget to add your "local" addresses (like 192.168.1.*) and localhost (127.0.0.1) P -- pski real stereo makes the lights dim on the bass notes.

[SlimDevices: Touch] VPN directly from touch
Can the touch be hacked to VPN directly (OpenVPN or PPTP or IPsec or any other protocol) into my home network when I'm on the move? I have Linux, Windows and Mac machines running at home, so I guess I have some flexibility in which VPN server to run. -- Nikhil Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83488 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
