I am interested, too !

Unfortunatelly, it doesn't seem to work, because of a failing back route.

SERVER:
phantasy.dnyndns.org

/etc/default/epoptes:
-------------------------------
PORT=789
SOCKET_GROUP=epoptes

CLIENT:

/etc/default/epoptes-client:
---------------------------------------
server=phantasy

/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base:
-------------------------------------------------
search dyndns.org

Starting client works fine. Icon appears in Server-Gui.
But if I start a broadcast session, the following error occurs:

I figured that out. Our school network has a single dynamic IP address for all computers in the classroom. BUT each computer has a unique IP in a local network, which is different from the Internet IP. So, I looked up the local IP address of the teacher's computer - it was also dynamic - and made it static by binding it to MAC address of the computer in the router's settings. This solved my problem!
