Hello,
I know this has been discussed before, but I'm not sure I've seen a confirmed solution anywhere.
I'll make this simple: I'm trying to get my iPhones/iTunes sync working when the iPhone is remotely connected to the network via a VPN (preferably OpenVPN).
I know the big hurdle is that apple services use bonjour which uses multicast which only traverses a local lan. These packets traditionally do not cross VPNs.
- I've tried using an L2TP tunnel on the iPhone to drop it logically on the same network as the PC with iTunes, but it appears multicast is blocked there too.
- I've tried bridging the openvpn interface and local lan interface from the ERLite but unfortunately iOS does not support 'tap', so that option does not work.
Does anybody have any other ideas on how I can make this work with the ERLite that I have? I know there exists mdns-repeater and reflector in the ERLite configuration, but I am not very familiar with them - I am hoping the experts here can show me what I am missing.
- Subnet information:
LAN = 192.168.9.0/24
VPN = 192.168.99.0/30
Thanks in advance
-Bob
