Good observations Ted.
My idea for using was simply to have it operate the audio requirements
separately as opposed to having to deal with other devices, yet it is
quite trivial to get that working.
The simplest is adding routes - to routers or devices. Next step up, is
using (eg) OpnSense - https://opnsense.org/ - or a RaspberryPi to
provide the SDN connectivity to older devices and printers etc. While
OpnSense is built on FreeBSD, which apparently has a diminishing future,
it does provide an out of the box zerotier interface for gui routing and
firewalling. If you can live without a GUI, a basic Linux box/vm will
do all the routing you will ever need.
One previous writer suggested he didn't like the idea of a VPN going out
to the cloud and then back (sorry I forgot who wrote that), but thought
that should also be clarified. Zeroitier is quite smart in how it finds
closest Moons/Nodes for 'rendezvous' routing. You see when you are
doing pings to disparate devices, it will initially take some MS time
but will drop significantly when it works out the best 'direct' route
between endpoints. The trick with putting your stream and data on
zerotier is don't overdo the firewalling/gateway. Trust that it is in
itself encrypted end to end.

I started checking out zerotier. This may obsolete VPNs for people
telecommuting, and it provides real extension of access to remote
devices over the internet. Unfortunately it does not connect hidden
networks that cannot reach the zerotier servers. I read that they have
a server download that will provide that for hidden networks. That may
also decrease the fear of critical dependence on external (not within
your own company) computing resources. I have not figured out how to
put a network printer or camera on a SDN yet. We may need to share
the printer port of a computer on the SDN. That remains unsolved to me.
I was able to set up a test software defined network in a few minutes.

You can create your own Software Defined Network (SDN) which is
private. This will give you 'local IPs' to work with at each end
with seemingly less overhead and issues than classic VPNs.
It's a brilliant system and worth getting your head around. There are
a number of Pi based instructions. You shouldn't need to bridge or
anything, just have the allocated IPs at each end and add routes if
you need them going elsewhere in the network.

Richard,
Thanks very much for your crib sheet. It worked just fine for me and
I am now up and running. Now I have my own notes to help me if I
ever have to do this again!
Ted,
I see your point. This is a huge hole if it goes over the internet.
I was debating running this STL over a VPN tunnel. You have swung me
over and I will definitely do so after hearing about the redis
security issues. Thanks very much for alerting me to this.
Thanks again guys!
Phil

Is this the correct version of g-streamer?
Below is a copy of a ‘crib-sheet’ that I put together for putting a
Pi together for using OpenOB – this is using a Pi 3 not a 4 though
and the ‘Audio Injector’ hat – but the OOB installation should be
the same. This uses the April 2019 version of Raspbian, and the
OpenOB version available in August 2019.

Install the prerequisites for OpenOB plus a couple other bits that
are needed:
sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 python-gst-1.0 python-redis python-gi
python-setuptools gstreamer1.0-alsa python-pip screen
Install redis-server on the receiver:
sudo apt install redis-server
and configure:
sudo sed -i.bak 's/bind 127.*/bind 0.0.0.0/' /etc/redis/redis.conf
&& sudo service redis-server restart
Install OpenOB:
sudo pip install openob
---
For a previous build, I did at some point find a repository that had
older versions of gstreamer in it and use it that way, but that was
with the older openOB version.
Hope that's somewhat helpful at least!
Richard.

I am having difficulty getting prerequisites loaded on a raspberry
pi 4. I’ve fixed this problem before but I cant seem to remember how
I did it! Help please.
As an update for you all, I gave up on the Behringer UCA202s and its
inherent mono problem have substituted a HifiBerry DAC+ ADC Pro for
the input to the transmitter side, and a DAC+ Pro XLR for the output
at the receiver side.
Thanks
