Hey all, so my slingbox dies last week and I had no idea Slingbox hardware had been discontinued. After doing some googling it seems there aren't any real viable alternatives to the slingbox currently either.
While I do have another slingbox on the way from amazon, this got me to thinking that at some point the slingbox will be no more and I will need a new way to watch my Canadian TV(Sports channels) in Phoenix.
Has anyone tried getting a optik box working over a VPN tunnel? I know I know i'm sure this is against the rules, but a man needs to watch his sports no matter where he is, So I am going to take a run at this on the weekend while in Phoenix. This isn't any different than using my slingbox in my opinion.
Anyways i've got 2 mini pfsense boxes on the way: https://www.netgate.com/solutions/pfsense/sg-1000.html
I'm thinking a open VPN tunnel bridged to LAN on both sides with the IGMP proxy enabled to do multicast and I should be set.
If anyone's tried this before please let me know, reply or pm. Thanks!
