Hello I've been using icecast/ices 1.3.11 at home for sometime now, and it works pretty well. Thanks to everyone who has worked on it. Occasionally, icecast will go up to 100% CPU for some reason, but if I restart it this goes away. Ices also has served me well. It dies on occasion too, but I think it's likely due to my custom ices.pm module, since it was much more stable before I added this. Anyway, I am investigating a way to get a secure stream from home to work now. At first I was considering a separate solution using apache and SSL to do this, but then realized I don't know of a player that can handle SSL. Now, I am leaning towards using stunnel to encrypt/decrypt the stream on each side, both on my server and the machine at work. Has anyone on the list used a setup like this? Just want to get some opinions before I spend some time on it. Stunnel (stunnel.org), for those who don't know, uses SSL to tunnel packets securely from one machine to another. thanks in advance... shayne <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request at xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Is your music really that confidential that you must waste CPU to send it to yourself? :) In any case, if it's really what you want to do, just portforward with ssh. jack. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request at xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

You're right, it's not that important that I encrypt it....it's more a proof of concept thing. I thought using ssh in this way would require a mp3 player that could handle SSL connections, but I haven't done much investigating (obviously). So thanks, I'll try doing that. hayne Jack Moffitt wrote:>>Anyway, I am investigating a way to get a secure stream from home to >>work now. >> > >Seems like a silly idea.
