dynamic IP/remote access



Hey. This is eerie because I just came off speakeasy.net because I'm
thinking
about switching from comcast to speakeasy (See: Shredding History BLU
thread)

I use dyndns.org for shardz.homelinux.net , which is my OpenBSD server
(installfest ;D),
and it's been great. Oddly enough in 2 years of comcast "service" my IP only
changed
once, when I got a new modem. Comcast service has been 'comcastic' as well
here,
but dyndns has never been a problem. I ssh from almost anywhere (PuTTY) into
'shardz.homelinux.net:10022' (you can use 22 as well, not blocked) and just
forward the
port into my server, and from there I can ssh into individual machines very
easily. In short,
dyndns works great for everything. I recommend it highly.

How was your service with Speakeasy compared to Comcast, by the way?
