A content aggregation server (CAS) establishes an IPSec tunnel with a gateway of a home network and discovers content on the home network. The CAS generates a web page that a user of the home network can access remotely to view an index of content hyperlinks, organize the content on the home network, and if desired select a hyperlink to access the content directly through the gateway, not the CAS, which thus is used for listing and managing content but not for hosting the content.
