iTunes Home Sharing with VPN
- by Philip Crumpton
I'm trying to set up a VPN on a Windows machine that contains my iTunes library, then connect my iPhone ot it, wirelessly, using Home Sharing (remotly). I have read that this can easily be set up if the iTunes library is on a Mac (Network Beacon and YazSoft ShareTool are two products I found). I can't find anyone who has had success on a Windows machine, though.
In my thinking, there are a few options to getting this done.
Find a utility that takes care of this for me (like the Mac-only options listed above) and is compatible with iPhone (Hamachi is NOT compatible with iPhone VPN).
Manually configure a VPN to allow Bonjour multicast (I'm not sure what this really is...)
Emulate a Mac on my Windows PC.
FYI my router is a Linksys WRT54GL running Tomato 1.28
