Laptop as media server in dorm with WIFI only
Here is what I'm trying to achieve.
I'm in a dorm in a country with very restricted internet so I have to use VPN and over LAN as the wifi is being pushed to its limits.
My laptop is hooked up to the ethernet.
The wifi of the laptop is unused.
I would like to use the wifi of the laptop to create a media server (I have external drives hooked up to it) so I can stream content locally to a my tablet, in the same room.
What would be the proper way of doing this? I often have VPN running over the LAN as well. Though during streaming I will not be needing the VPN.
