VPN
Home VPN’s, are you updating your IP securely?
Normally I blog about SQL Server, but I have found this (and one more coming) answers to questions that I could not find on the internet. So I had to share!
As many folks who start dabbling in home VPN setups realize or had known prior (I’m a database guy, not a network admin!), you need a DDNS provider. Your home IP will probably change, so if you wanted to connect to your home IP, it may work for a little while, but it may change unexpectedly. Having it update every few minutes with a provider so they can give you a static name to use that maps automatically to your new IP is the solution to keep it working consistently.
