We're often away for a week or so and we source Internet connections
wherever we are.
The root access and FTP access to our clients website hosting servers
are all protected and tied to the fixed IP we have when at home. So, to
access the servers from anywhere else, we need to get our hosting
company to change the allowed IP addresses each time we move on. We also
'tunnel' to the UK, using 'Tunnelbear' to fool iPlayer so that we can
grab specific TV programmes. This all works fine but could probably be
easier, because ...
Its dawned on me that I have the fixed IP in the UK (with Zen) and that
we leave our Vigor 2850n switched on. I've never done this but it looks
like I can set up a VPN account on the 2850n, tunnel through to that
from wherever we are in the world, and then access everything on the Net
as if we are at home.
Who's done this?
What client (if necessary) do you use on your Apple computer to set up
and use the VPN?
What app on an iPhone or iPad will do this too?
Thanks everyone ... Graham
