I have a dyndns account, it keeps the dns updted. I can always get to my
router/gateway which is dyndns enabled, how do I get to my ip on the server,
I need to mount the servers nfs export throught the router. I setup the
correct ports for nfs to foreward, is that it?
If I can do that it would be very insecure, then I would disable that and
set-up openvpn on the server to the router...
As I said I am over my head..

I've been having alot of luck with openvpn it's ssl based rather than
ipsec. I have found it to be easier to setup and less confusing and
it has clients for various platforms including windows...which is not
always the easiest platform to use IPSEC with unless you go with a
commercial client. You will need to setup a certificate authority and
understand the basics of openssl the rest is pretty simple. It even
works behind a NAT router or firewall. If the vpn connection is lost
it will re-establish it's connection automatically once it's routable
again. This works for both dynamic ip clients and even the server as
long as you're using some sort of deamon to update dyndns info.
For the most part, atleast in my area, I find comcast IP's to be very
stable. My IP hasn't changed in years. My ip least just gets
renewed.

OK I have read the vpn howto, and tunneling from the howto, and to be
truthfull i am totally over my head.
I have a LAN at the office including a freebsd file server, the server
has an ip of 192.168.xx.xx, and several other gentoo desktops have the
same +1 each. I have a linksys cable modem, and wireless router serving
through the gateway of 192.168.xx.1. dns is fixed with 2 dns servers from
comcast. Problem is I have a dynamis ip from comcast.
I want to be able to access a desktop machine, and most importantly the
bsd file server with my laptop, again with a dynamic assigned ip from
remote locations.
What is the best combination, and some sort of howto for dummies would be
great!!
Thanks in advance.
