Hi People,
Bit of nooby here but hoping someone might have the time to help me out.
Basically what i’m looking to achieve is to have a VPN setup on a raspberry pi inside my home network so i can remote in and stream my xbox as microsoft no longer allows you to play from an external ip address. I’ve set one up using openVPN on Ubuntu which works fine however I can’t remotely turn the console on through the xbox app, i have to remote ssh into my pi and run a xbox-on command.
I’ve read that as openvpn is default layer 3 the only way around it is to configure openVPN as a layer 2 bridged vpn so it is on the same osi layer of which the magic packet protocol works with but with doing that i can no longer gain access to it through my iphone as layer 2 vpns do not work. To try and cut a long story short does anyone have any idea how i could get this to work, not sure if its possible to have a program on my pi which could analyse a magic packet and correctly send it to broadcast on my home network.

If that had have gone in it would have been a goal !
Your last idea would work..

I’ve configured it and i can remote turn it on by logging in to the pi’s ssh and running the command. Just wondering if there’s anyway to enable something in openvpn or ubuntu where it can sniff out a wol ‘magic’ packet on the vpn tun and then forward or replicate it locally on the lan. I know i can convert the pi openvpn to layer 2 bridging (tap) so it’s running on the same subnet but them i wont be able to access it from my iphone.

If you are feeling brave then the devs are working on some sort of tun2tap contraption ..
However, nobody is maintaining accurate time on this server .. :mrgreen:
