help requested - wifi + VPN with HDTV

[bill7183]

Hello guys

I have a Roku media player, Windows 7 PC, and 2Wire 2701 HG-T router (settings cannot be changed due to DSL provider). This router also broadcasts Wi-Fi throughout the house. My Windows 7 PC is connected to the router via Ethernet cable. My PC has no wi-fi card however I will buy one if needed. I also use TunnelBear VPN.

What I want to do:

I live overseas, and want to see Amazon videos. To do this, I want to tell my Roku player to connect via wi-fi to my VPN, installed on my computer. It talks directly to the router presently. However since the router and computer are based overseas, it has a non-USA IP address.

The VPN is on my computer, there is no physical VPN nor anyway to install one on my router itself.

Any help is appreciated

Bill

The best I can figure, you need to get a USB Wifi adapter for the PC, that supports AP mode, and then bridge that interface to your VPN interface. Then set up a different SSID, and have your Roku connect to that SSID.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in here on how to make that actually work.

Wireless card on the PC using this - http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/releases/view/36035

The Roku then should be associate with the Virtual router that is installed on the computer.
