Well, if you mean always connect to internet through your remote |
| 41 |
server in terms of bypassing a firewall or silent proxy, possibly but |
| 42 |
not guaranteed (and likely against whatever agreement you have that |
| 43 |
put you in a position to be behind that firewall or proxy anyhow). To |
| 44 |
use it for that purpose, you would have to be able to, at the least, |
| 45 |
get to your remote server... which is just somewhere else on the |
| 46 |
internet itself. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
As for augmenting bandwidth for your local system, using the remote |
| 49 |
one... not really, no. Whatever link you use to get to the remote |
| 50 |
server is likely to be the same you're going to use to get to anywhere |
| 51 |
else on the internet, and it's that last link that tends to be the |
| 52 |
most limiting factor on speed. I have, however, used a slow link to |
| 53 |
connect to a system I had on a faster link somewhere, downloaded the |
| 54 |
files I wanted on that system, then pulled them off onto a usb drive |
| 55 |
when I was physically with that system the next time... but trying to |
| 56 |
pull from that system to where I was controlling it from would have |
| 57 |
been the same as, if not slower than, pulling those files directly |
| 58 |
from the original source. |

So an all around yes, but no, answer ;) |
