DLNA (Maybe Homegroup) over OpenVPN, How?
-
Hi. I've got a problem where I am trying to have my Homegroup over my OpenVPN. I have 172.9.0.0/24 at my Home (call it Home) and I have connected another location over OpenVPN (call it Sat1), it uses 172.10.1.0/24. The transfer of data over the VPN works great and it is a stable connection.
Home: 172.9.0.0/24
Sat1: 172.10.1.0/24My idea of a VPN between these places where that I wanted the NAS at Home to be accessible from Sat1, and also share the Homegroup and DLNA over the VPN. I really don't know how IGMP Proxy works so I don't know what I need to do make DLNA work over the VPN. I tried to find a good tutorial for IGMP Proxy on this forum but it seems that no one has done one.
Thanks in advance.

Your choice of IP ranges-
Home: 172.9.0.0/24
Sat1: 172.10.1.0/24Fall inside the public IP range. Private starts at 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
Its possible that a piece of software somewhere has these ranges hardcoded and is causing you problems. Maybe not… But its never advisable to use public IP ranges as your private LAN.

I will change that as that was a big mistake, but I still don't know how IGMP Proxy works. How I should configure Upstream and Downstream.

You should configure your VPN as a bridged, not a routed, VPN. That'll make it much easier to get DLNA working.
