Transcending ISP idiotcy

Oct 17, 2005 3 Replies

I have a OpenBSD box running SSH which I need access to from far. My ISP randomly changes ip's. I need a simple way to 1)get my remote ip address and 2) Let SSH through Unfortunately I also suffer from a Dell TrueMobile 2300 and a Westell modem. My Pc ------>Dell Truemobile ---->Westell----->ISP----->The Public internet. I know that the ISP has no firewalling. If the configuration was My Pc----->Westell----->ISP it would be trivial. The dell suffers from dropping packets outside the netblock, even if I was to put a



70.23.xxx.xxx entry in the table. Any thoughts, criticisms, ect. are welcome.

That's only half the problem. Problem is getting the SSH packets passed the router and Westell modem.

lookup DDNS - you can register a name, run their app and it will keep the domain name updated so that you can find the system.

What do you mean with that? Is there any "Personal Firewall" "blocking" "outgoing connections"?
