Phidgets Forums

I have a Phidget Hub 5000 on a different subnet that I VPN into.

so my local lan is 192.168.111.xxx and the phidget hub is on 192.168.81.xxx

I can hit the webserver at 192.168.81.xxx (where xxx is the phidget Hub) from my local 192.168.111.xxx network

but the Control Panel does not seem to offer a method to enter an IP.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

So apparently the Phidget control panel uses Bonjour to find the devices.

Bonjour does not span subnets

My VPN solution is using PFSense and I'm trying the avaphi package which is a "Bonjour Gateway" and allows spanning with Bonjour.

Correct, the Control Panel is using Bonjour. The Phidget API supports AddServer which allows you to just use the IP address.

Agreed that worked easily and I've given up the avahi route -

Thanks!
