[HECnet] Stuck on a dynamic IP but want to run the bridge? I've got a solution

[Sampsa Laine]

I don't have an actual number but it's almost unnoticeable on a 2 mbps and up link, it's never caused me an issue at least, even when running HECnet over 3G UMTS :)

BQT might have more specifics..

Side question : how much bandwidth does HECnet claim for its housekeeping traffic (hello messages, routing updates etc)?

Basically my network in Hila's Internet connection is a HSUPA cellular router (relatively fast 15/6mbps or so) but the operator does not give me a static IP.

So I decided to VPN into my network in London, assign each VPN account a specific static IP and run the bridge over the VPN. 

It's been working great for about a year now - so anybody who needs a bridge connection and can run pppd is welcome to link up with me.
