<p style="padding:0px;margin:0px"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I shall try and set that up as soon as I can. Of course, one probable downside is that it will stop VLC from being able to open the download links that I mentioned in my previous post.</span></p>

I do NOT want open website ports on my home network. Passwords are a minimal protection for that. I set up an OpenVPN server on a Raspberry PI 3B+ and run both Pi-hole and PiVPN to control access to my home network. It took 5 minutes to install and set up. All of my phones, tablets, and laptops have their own separate private keys to access my home network. So now I don't need the pain of passwords locally or remotely and my network is very well protected.</div><div><br></div><div>Jim A</div><div><br></div></div></div>
