Hi!
I just wanted to know, if there is a way to setup a VPN on atv2, without using any other hardware. I wanted to watch BBC through xbmc. I know, I can setup a second router with ddwrt running VPN, but I would prefer doing it directly on atv2
Thanks

ya I think there must be a way, iOS supports VPN by default. I hope some one can tackle this issue.

I think you'll find the current solution would be to setup two profiles, one that connects to the local network and another that connects through a proxy.

proxy would not work, it has to be through VPN, I tried to set it up using second router, but my speed goes down big time, so I thought it would be better directly through ATV2

I would prefer if the process could be manager thru terminal "SSH" to be up or down. i think if we can copy the configuration file from iphone and push it to apple tv it would be possible.
don't you.

I'd like to see a VPN client on ATV2 also, but I do have a nice ATV2 solution working right now with a second router.
This is an ASUS RT-N16 running the PPTP client in the native 1.0.2.3 firmware. I'm getting speedtests to the UK in the 4-5 Mbps range over the VPN, which compares reasonably well to 7 Mbps locally. It's certainly fast enough.

unblock-us.com works great, but it seems to mess up VNC access, apps like XBMC Commander (iPhone app to control XBMC) and the web interface.
Not sure why the DNS settings on the ATV2 would mess up local IP access, but I'm sure it makes sense to somebody who knows more about networking.

update:
problem solved. unblock-us.com did not impact VNC access, it was my error.
No problem is that my BBC iplayer is working rather sporadically and unblock-us.com informed that they don't support JB ATV2.
Would be a great solution if it worked more reliably on JB ATV2
I set up unblock-us.com on the router level and lost VNC access as well. Can't shsh to ATV2 any longer.
Did you also set up your on modem level?

Does anyone know how to get in-market MLB.TV games on the the ATV2 using this method?
