Raspberry PI is cheap, small and has no fansĢ) StrongSwan software on the server side for L2TP VPN connection.

The idea is to get it on the same network as your Sonos devices and make multicast and broadcast work.ġ) raspberry pi or any linux device you're willing to use as a VPN gateway. After playing with it for a little while I made it work with L2TP IKEv2 VPN setup.
