Right now I am taking my picore player with open VPN installed to my workplace, to my friends place or to my fathers place. I just connected to the Wi-Fi of that place, and it works perfectly, it connects to my LMS at home, I do not have to configure anything on my friends/works router. at home I am running an asus router with open VPN server installed. I didnt try in a hotel or public place, but I think this might work as well, and using open VPN should be safe to do? I only have one picoreplayer with a touchscreen, but I have several squeezebox touch which I do not use at this moment. And if somehow I could install open VPN on those, I could just leave them at my friends place or at work. The LMS user has read and write privileges to the music share, but I could change that to read only, and create an additional share for the playlists. But I think I will just take my Picoreplayer with open VPN, because I dont want to risk getting hacked, and maybe have some guy deleting all my files on my nas. Thank you. I still have hopes, that somebody who has the skills will create an open vpn client app for the squeezebox touch someday :-) The Earth Has Music For Those Who Listen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pommes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67682 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114055
