I have a dyndns account, it keeps the dns updted. I can always get to my |
| 2 |
router/gateway which is dyndns enabled, how do I get to my ip on the server, |
| 3 |
I need to mount the servers nfs export throught the router. I setup the |
| 4 |
correct ports for nfs to foreward, is that it? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
If I can do that it would be very insecure, then I would disable that and |
| 7 |
set-up openvpn on the server to the router... |
