[ale] [OT] AT&T/UVerse going to carrier grade NAT?

[Scott Plante]

You could do that with an Amazon EC2 instance. It's free for the first year and pretty cheap after. You get a virtual Linux box and you can even get a static IP. You could set up ssh (or better, autossh) with port forwarding, then just go to your instance's IP (or name). You could probably set up OpenVPN on the instance too, and then connect from to it from both ends (home and wherever you are).

Would dynamic dns service in conjunction with something like a hotspotvpn tunnel allow you to expose services to the internet? I think you have a "public" address as long as the tunnel is up. Of course, they may not want you to keep the tunnel up 24 hr / day. 





That's where I was heading; a ssh connection from my home server to some externally-visible machine, and doing a reverse tunnel through that. 


The trick is figuring out how to run a dyn-dns-update client from whatever externally visible machine I am ssh'ing to. There are such things available ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS ), so I'm not overly concerned about it yet. And it might be time to start seriously considering using a commercial VPN service and using that as my entry point "back" to my home-server. (Is that even possible?)
