The only problem I have had with dyndns is that I haven't been able to use a domain name I bought from EuroDNS, although both eurodns and dyndns mention the other in their documentation. > With openvpn, it depends on how you set it up as to if you are > joining the remote network, or just the remote machine. I'm just setting up the remote machine as a client. I guess I would quite like to set up a remote LAN, and join that to my local LAN. I didn't know that was possible with openVPN. > (Are you using a bridged > connection on one or both ends, or have you set up IP tables and > routing to do the same thing?) I'm running shorewall on my local server, and allow openvpn traffic through with that.

I'm not very clear on this sort of thing, but your remark makes me wonder if I could use that idea to get over a completely different problem I have: My college has set up mailman so that list-owners (and I presume anyone else) has to post email from within the college system. I would prefer to send email from home, where I can use KMail, although it is very little trouble to ssh into my college account, and send email from there. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
