rszimm,

Another kudos to you!! I just set up my android phone to use a tunnel over ssh (connectbot) to connect to my OSPi running your program. I was debating on how best to use the sprinklers_pi web server outside of my LAN and it dawned on me to use port forwarding over ssh. Works like a Champ!! Now I can securely access my sprinkler system from anywhere in the world. 😀

A little background: I have a Linux Firewall/router setup at home to NAT all of my local traffic over our cable modem connection. I know it is a little overkill, but I am a linux geek at heart. :geek:
