Hi all,
I've been using OrenoSP to gain access to my TiVo externally.
For those who don't know OrenoSP, it's a reverse proxy you run on a PC on your LAN, and you connect to it from the internet, and it forwards connections to TiVo. Nice and secure etc etc.
However, due to my PC being somewhat irksome atm, I've got a nicer solution, which may be of interest to a few people.
I have acquired a Linksys WRT54GS (802.11G wireless broadband router). It's upgradable with 3rd party open source firmware.
I've now got said router running the Sveasoft f/w, and I can SSH into the router, and then tunnel into TiVo (or anything else on the LAN).
Much more secure than OrenoSP, and doesn't need my PC on!
And of course, there are mobile SSH clients too, so you can access it on the move...
The router costs about £50 to £80 and the SSH software is free. OrenoSP is now > £150 - although I have an old copy if anyone wants it!
Tutorials available on request if anyone wants them.
