VPN over dynamic IP address
IPsec, IPsec Passthrough, IPsec VPN, Linksys WRT54G, Networking, Networking Equipment, Source code control software, SVN, VPN
I want to host my source code control environment (SVN) on a server at home, accessible through VPN. I have a dynamic IP address.
Does anyone have suggestions for hardware (router/servers) and software. Looking to keep a low expense, but something that will get the job done well.
I have a Linksys WRT54G broadband router supporting IPSec passthrough. Should I upgrade?

Answer Wiki:
You can do what you want with a 'dynamic DNS' service. That gives you a host name which can refer to your home's dynamic IP address. You run a piece of software on your PC or router that signs in to the dynamic DNS service and keeps it updated with your current IP address. Totally doable.
You may have a great router, especially if flashed with DD-WRT. If it is, then you can set it up to automatically update your dynamic DNS account, and not rely on your PC to do it. That's how mine is set up.
