| Apr 15, 2020 at 4:03 | comment | added | Jason | Thanks, my problem is apparently dumber than all that. Nintendo products use some kind of wifi-direct or bluetooth connection when they say they're using a "Local Connection" apparently, at least according to my brother whose more familiar with Nintendo stuff than I am. With just converting my layer 3 TUN connection to a layer 2 TAP connection and adding IGMP and MDNS repeating / proxying to both firewalls I can see all the cast devices on the other side and cast to those devices, so this was bound to fail. Might be possible with a wired connection, but I don't care enough to buy an adapter. | |
