tinc - May 2001 - Dynamic IP clients.

Hello tinc fans,

  I'm looking around for a VPN solution.
  The situation is as follows:

    The central office, with a cable modem and 1 IP address,
    connected to the intranet through a linux firewall/router.

  At home I just have a modem, and a dynamic IP dialup provider.
  Is there any way that I can automate connecting from a dynamic
  IP address with tinc?

Of course. Install the tinc server on your Linux gateway in the office
and configure your home-side tinc daemon as client connecting to the
office gateway. Dont't forget to:

- assign the tap devices the right hw address
- set netmask (AND broadcast address) on tap devices wide enough to
  match all pakets in the virtuall subnets
- open firewall rules to allow the connection between subnets.

Good luck,
Eduard.
