AFAIK this mode is not available in the iPhone version. I am not expert on how VPNs on iPhones work, may be in your case Slacker bypasses your VPN interface, connecting directly to the Internet?<BR/>BTW: Where have you found the $1500 price? I paid half of that for the DFL-800.Headworxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659982647690284677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540721.post-47380419390563840632009-01-18T14:23:00.000+01:002009-01-18T14:23:00.000+01:00Many thanks for your reply.<BR/><BR/>Are you saying you effectively utilize two VPNs? Your own that takes you into your home router, then another that directs you to US servers from your home? <BR/><BR/>$1500 for a router is a bit steep for a hobby geek like me. I'm going to investigate if there's a cheaper way to set up my own VPN though, so thanks for the help.<BR/><BR/>Jim.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540721.post-44937981077933018662009-01-17T16:33:00.000+01:002009-01-17T16:33:00.000+01:00Hi, my VPN is set up on the home gateway / router / firewall. This way any host on my LAN is routed to the VPN tunnel when accessing certain predefined servers (like Slacker). Now this depends if your router can act as a VPN client. Some have this functionality and some don't. I use DLink DFL-800 and it has all sorts of goodies to play with.Headworxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659982647690284677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540721.post-44523275756344156342009-01-17T13:19:00.000+01:002009-01-17T13:19:00.000+01:00Hello,<BR/>I read with interest your comments about getting Slacker to work on iPhone. I'm using a commercial VPN service with US-based servers. From my desktop computer in UK I can access the Slacker website fine. However, when I VPN in from my iPhone the Slacker app says I'm outside the US. Do you have any suggestion on how to get it to work? Any help/tips would be most appreciated.<BR/>Regards,<BR/>Jim.Jimnoreply@blogger.com
