Most of the ssh tunneling stuff is applicable, just using different applications.
Still the general idea is that you ssh into your home network and set it up such that connections to port 3689 on the ‘road-warrior’ pc are tunneled through the ssh connection to port 3689 on the daap server.
With a unix or osx machine as the road-warrior, you do that with:
ssh [email protected] -L 3689:internal.mt-daapd.ip:3689
You’ve seen that on the faqs before.
You can do the same thing with putty. Download putty and there is a section for tunnels. Set you local 3689 to connect to 3689 on the mt-daapd server.
ssh in, and you should be able (from the road-warrior machine) to do http://localhost:3689 and be in the admin web pages.
If so, then that’s half the battle.
Next up, you’ll need to install rendezvous proxy (http://ileech.sourceforge.net/index.php?content=RendezvousProxy-Download), and set it up to advertise _daap._tcp on 3689 for 127.0.0.1.
It should show up iTunes, and you should be in business.
Of course, the next problem is upstream bandwidth…
