External Sat>IP server - TVHEADEND 4.2

1st Official Post

    Ok so my situation

    Code
                   DVB-S
              /
             /
Client - WAN
            \
             \ DVB C

    All 3 run libreelec and tvheadend.

    The c,lient will never auto discover IP>SAT on servers cause it will only scan local networks.

    On the client i've added:

    Code
    TVH_ARGS_EXTRA="--satip_xml http://ext.ern.al.ip:9981/satipdesc.xml"

    in: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/bin/tvheadend42.start

    But I still cannot see the dvb>sat server in DVB-Inputs.

    1. What is wrong? I thought at this point I wouldnt needt to forward any other port than 9981. The above .xml is visible in any browser

    2. How is security tackled with SAT>IP over wan? Any usermanagement? If none I guess VPN is only solution.

    There are no clear guides on SAT>IP over WAN i hope this might become one :)

    Ok I am thinking about the following setup than

    But is a Wetek Play (1st gen) strong enough to playback DVBs and also act as a OpenVPN server. I tested a PPTP tunnel on the router of the DVB-C and that worked, but a IPsec VPN was already too much for streaming live TV. I am a bit worried setting it all up and than get a lot of stutter :)

    It would help a little if PPTP VPN would be enabled again in Libreelec but I understand they are not secure enough. Although that isnt a mega priority here, non stuttering tele is :)
