 |
|
Hi,
I have recently set up a (Kubuntu) Linux machine for my mum at her place. She has an ADSL line with a dynamic IP address. Is there anything available that could help me log into my mum's machine to do maintenance such as updates? My mum is a bit scared to do it herself, and since I live in a different country I cannot come back physically every week just to do maintenance.
I can do this for my office (Gentoo) machine using SSH, but how do I get into a dynamic IP machine? I was thinking that in theory I could make a simple script to open a connection to my static-IP machine at work, and from there "tunnel back" to my mum's machine... however this is very sketchy. Is there any application that does anything like that?

as rere suggested: use dyndns.org (ddclient is in portage) or a similar service
in a setup like that, make sure to use private key authentication and disable password authentication!
