[HECnet] Need a non-static-IP link to HECNet. Anyone got one available.

[Sampsa Laine]

Guys, sorry about not having the VPN accounts up yet, my Internet connection SUCKS right now, anything interactive like an SSH session to the server is like pulling teeth.

I'll get them up as soon as I can, though.

Yup. I'll set you guys up around lunchtime GMT - provided I survive the trip in and out of town, the Bedus are driving even crazier than usual, it's like the chariot race scene in Ben Hur to go to the shops.

Sampsa, 

Can you support another non-static IP user?

Yup, I'll send it all to you in a tar ball when I get a chance to roll the account.

Could you let me have the bash script you use? It'll be useful for a few things :)

Ah right okay, I am not that familiar with VPN on Linux. I guess PTPP is a law unto itself :)

No idea, does it do PPTP?

I just use pptpd in a bash loop, check if it's alive and restart it if not.

I guess I'll be okay connecting from OpenVPN on my RasPi?

Yup, you get a static IP on my 192.168.77.0/24 subnet, and the bridge is on that subnet so it'll just work.

Thanks, Sampsa :)

Once on the VPN, I guess I can just bridge to an IP inside your DECnet LAN?

Yeah, I've got a PPTP setup for the bridge.

I'll set you up tomorrow and send you the details for the VPN and bridge.

Hi,

Judgement day came early and we switched back to residential internet and now have no static IP BUT I'm getting a much faster line installed next week as a result so it's all good.

Does anyone have a VPN I could connect to in order to keep my HECnet connection up (for me to not use, like I've been not using it since April ;) ). Winter is coming and I'll need something to do in the evenings and weekends when it's too rainy and cold to cycle :P

Thanks!
