I am actually subscribed to dyndns, for this machine. But I normally use openvpn, which works perfectly. I've had a couple of occasions when openvpn has failed - as it happened, one time was due to a storm in Italy when the internet connection went down - but what I have found is quite nice in the past is that if openvpn fails I can ssh in, if I know the IP address, and try to work out what is wrong with openvpn. Eg openvpn stopped working for a couple of hours when I upgraded the remote machine (as well as my local server) to CentOS-5.4. Strangely, it just started working again a couple of hours later. -- 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
