Trying to set up the VPN server to access my home network when away. After switching it on, configuring my MacBook, and connecting from an outside network, I was surprised not to see any Bonjour services advertised (e.g., in the Finder sidebar); nor was I able to resolve "Foo.local" host names, the way I would be able to on my home network. Configuring clients to use Wide-Area Bonjour. If you just want to see Wide-Area Bonjour browsing in action without having to install the Preference Pane / Control Panel, you can do that by entering an appropriate DNS search domain.To advertise your own services and have more control over the settings, follow the instructions here to install the Preference Pane (Mac) or Control Panel (Windows). Bonjour is Apple's implementation of zero-configuration networking (zeroconf), a group of technologies that includes service discovery, address assignment, and hostname resolution.Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network using multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) service records. From my research I've found out that Bonjour (mDNS) does not broadcast to different subnets. So I ran ifconfig on my macbook while connected through the VPN. it was 192.168.43.206. All of the computers on the network I'm connecting to are 192.168..10 to 192.168..200 . AirPrint is using multicast and the VPN headend is not forwarding the multicast for airprint and bonjour. As for SMB I don't know 100%. Multicast! that makes sense. IPsec VPN doesn't send multicast sounds familiar. Maybe I'll see if another VPN would support that. I don't think SMB uses multicast, so I'm still looking for that one.

Apple's Bonjour protocol is likely here to stay, or at-least for the foreseeable future until Apple decides otherwise. If you have an Apple device and wish to do printing or require the use of its discovery services, you will very likely encounter Apple's Bonjour protocol. I will spare the many technical details […]

My vpn works great. Right, that's why you're here asking for help with getting SAMBA and bonjour to work properly across your VPN. And I'm not about to go buy a multi-thousand dollar router. Actually, you don't have to spend thousands to have a good VPN endpoint which is why I pointedly asked wanderer what he uses. If I'm not mistaken, the

The vpn client will need to be in the same subnet or also know as vlan or even broadcast domain as the other bonjour devices like printer, mac osx server, etc. In order to do so, a linux/unix server serving as the vpn will bridge one of it's network card which is in the same vlan/subnet. If you're a Mac user who often uses VPN connections, you'll notice one very disappointing thing about connecting to your corporate or personal network over such tunneled connections: typically, Bonjour-style addresses (such as computer-name.local) don't work. This is because multicast DNS (or mDNS) doesn't work over a tunnel. For me and many of my customers it would be a great feature to have Bonjour working over VPN connections. Apple’s Bonjour (also called mDNS or multicast DNS) is the service responsible for discovering other machines and the services provided by these machines in your network.

I will spare the many technical details […] Bonjour deployments can quickly get out of control if not scaled properly. Rather than flooding the network with Bonjour traffic from all devices and subnets, Cisco Meraki's Bonjour Gateway selectively bridges Bonjour traffic — such as AirPlay, AirPrint, and Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) — to the subnets of choice. Failure to Update the Routing Table (Bonjour Printing Service) Problem If you are using Bonjour Printing Services, the AnyConnect event logs indicate a failure to identify the IP forwarding table.

If I'm not mistaken, the The Bonjour proxy functionality that is built-in to the dns-sd command line program is the simplest solution to set up initially, but it can be difficult to maintain. Important to note is that although the man page for dns-sd says it first appeared on Mac OS 10.3 this is not true. It will run on 10.3, but it did not
