Benjamin, I put a couple of IPCops together with OpenVPN. Zerina Project. So far so good. Do not know about adding the media server.

Do any of you know of a good tutorial or resources? I don't really know all the hardware (and the pros and cons of different pieces/brands) that I'd need so a tutorial that explains the necessary requirements would be helpful. Additionally, would it be too much to include a media server in such a box? Has anyone here had success with such a venture? cheers, benjamin
