Stream a network drive over a VPN or port forward?
I have an external hard drive thats connected to my PC and streams to my Xbox using Serviio (but it can work without Serviio too). What i want to do is use Hamachi or port forwarding to map the drive across the internet so I can use it on an Xbox in another city. The computer that it will be forwarded to will just share the folder over the local network so the Xbox can find it. I just don't know how.
Can an employer see all of your local network activity or just the device connected to their VPN?
Your employer, if they're using the right monitoring software can log every fucking keystroke you make, dude. They can also screencap your monitor at various intervals to see what you're actually looking at, run process monitors to see what you're actually running, deep packet inspection to pull actual data flows out of any VPN you're running....Get real. They paid for the laptop. They paid for the internal network. They paid for the ultra-broadband to their location. They're paying YOU to do something.They own it all. And legally, provided they inserted the right material in the employee handbook which you signed off on when you joined, have the right to do whatever they want with it.Don't like that?Quit. Become an independent contractor, supplying your own equipment. Pays about the same, and still won't necessarily get around some of the monitoring (most contractor agreements say "and if you're accessing our network, or anything we own, or anything else using anything we own, we get to monitor that") but it will kill the keylogging and screen-capping.I've run shops where we did this. It was a matter of making sure that very, very tight security policies were enforced, and most important, able to be audited. It's not my favorite way to do things - I'm natively more of a "of course you have admin on your laptop" kind of guy. But it has it's place. As to whether they can see everything else on your home LAN, that completely depends on the software they're using. Monitoring software that checks out it's environment (what else is on the network to which I'm connected) is pretty normal. Monitoring up to and including full capture of any traffic that accesses or transits your device is also pretty normal. Sniffing your wire to see what else is going on? That's pretty out there.
How should I setup my home internet/wireless network?
Here is what I have...Netgear R6200 and Linksys EA4500. I have a desktop in my office at the moment with the EA4500 (primary router) in the same room. Wired connection to desktop, Xbox 360 and a wire through my home (walls and all) to our master bedroom cascaded with the R6200 (secondary router) as LAN-LAN. I am wanting to know if this is the best way to do it or not. I have been researching the heck out of this. Should I switch the routers to make the R6200 the primary? Should I use LAN-WAN? The other thing is that I have a smart tv in my living room that I currently use Wifi connection on, but I am a man and want the best picture. Should I hardwire with Ethernet powerline extenders from primary router? Or should I get a second modem, uncascade the two routers, keep one modem/router in the office and the other modem/router next to the tv, thus having two separate router setups? My overall plan is to build a media server from scratch to have EVERYTHING on it and be able to stream to any device, including the TV. This will allow me to get rid of blu ray player, cable and all my external hard drives. Just have one centralized media server. Which leads to one last question, how can I stream stuff from the server to the smart TV? Media Extender? I want to be able to control it with remote. I do not want to display mirror. Any and all information and help would be greatly appreciated.
How can I play Counter Strike with my friends over the internet?
Use Hamachi software for Windows, it allows you to play cs over Internet without LAN.You can play with as many users possible using hamachi :1.You have to make multiple networks/ hubs with different names and share it with users you want to play.2. Provided you are the host, create a server and share your server's IP address with all the users.3. Ask them to connect to your server and DONE!I can say that it took me about 8 months to figure this out. :-PCheers!
How to speed up international video streaming?
Unfortunately, SNATT is very sensitive to delay. Packets just take longer to get from the US to the UK, and this delay prevents the SNATT protocol from reaching the speeds necessary. Think of it as trying to drive a car but where every time you turn the steering wheel, the car turns two seconds later. How fast could you drive? There's nothing you can do to reduce the delay, it's caused by the length of the trip (miles in fiber) and speed of light. However, you may be able avoid the need for SNATT. If you can instead use TCP or UDP, these protocols do a better job of compensating for delay. One way is to setup a VPN between the two networks and access the slinbox over the VPN (by contacting it on an IP address routed over the VPN). There have been reports of success with this approach and slingboxes. Another way is to establish TCP and/or UDP port forwarding on your router to your slingbox.
