[SOLVED] sync through VPN

[Andre_H]

Hi there,

is there any documentation how to get access from android devices to a local MMW via VPN?

i have an VPN tunnel running on my android phone (router shows as active), and a forwarding of port 14592 (thats what MMW shows on "shares") from router to MMW-Computer-IP, but simply "sync now" doesn't find anything.

What else has to be done?

Thanx!

I think SSDP discovery won't work in VPN, so you will need to add the MMW server/port manually in MMA.
i.e. go to MMA > UPnP, click the + button
and put this to the Device destination:

http://<your PC IP address>:<MW server Port>/DeviceDescription.xml

e.g. http://192.168.0.17:14592/DeviceDescription.xml

Then go to MMA > Options > Select sync server
and select the MMW server that you added manually in the UPnP node.

Seems not to work, i cant add a server that already exists. New entry ist deleted after "save"

OK, so the MMW server is visible/accessible in MMA > UPnP, but isn't browseable ?

I can't explain what might have changed, I still "only" see the one internally connected server with a VPN connection, but it is now visible & accessible & browseable, just synced successfully.

Nice!

Great to hear the sync is working!

For VPN setups like this, the protocol can impact connectivity. IKEv2/IPsec is stable on mobile networks, while WireGuard offers faster speeds but may need extra configuration.

If issues arise, check your VPN protocol and consider switching between UDP (faster) and TCP (more stable) for better results, especially with large media files.
