      Hi all,

      I'm playing around the the remote streaming option on the xBox one.
      It works great in home and I would like to put in intro the next level.
      (be able to play/stream my xbox one at work or a other place)

      Because I know it works I tried it using my VPN and tried connecting, but noting :(
      Still I can access my freeNAS shares.

      If I open the correct ports under NAT I can add the xBox and stream is.
      But for security reasons I like to use the VPN.

      Does anyone have some tips on how to get this work??
      or what may be the problem.

      Thanks in advance.

      Richard

        I want to do the same thing along with streaming from the Steam in home streaming feature on my PC. From what I have gathered is that the steam streaming is enabled up by a UDP broadcast packet. https://codingrange.com/blog/steam-in-home-streaming-discovery-protocol

        Since the IPSEC VPN tunnel is on a separate broadcast domain then this packet isn't being sent back/forth from LAN to VPN. Xbox streaming might work the same way?

        I think this can be fixed by enabling forecast from within strongswan.

        https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Forecast

        I however don't have the technical know how to make this happen or if it is even possible on FreeBSD. Hopefully a pfsense guru can enlighten us on how to configure broadcast packets to our IPSEC VPN tunnels.
