Greetings,

I have a new job that requires me to travel a lot, so I am interested in streaming video from my home Mezzmo server to the hotel room. I understand how to configure Mezzmo and router to enable port forwarding, but I'm stuck on whether it is a good idea? What are the risks of exposing my Mezzmo computer (sitting on my subnet) to the internet? It does have access to other computers on my subnet, so a hacker could do real damage.

I'm looking for opinion on whether I should do this and how to minimize risk of intrusion. Is there a better way to stream my video library? I know I can configure the router to accept connections only from the hotel IP address block, but that would be tough to manage given the amount of travel I do. I don't want to put the computer on my DMZ and expose my video library to the internet. Also, is the port-forwarded connection encrypted?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
