Hi
I work with several remote desktops on Windows servers. Because I can't have a fixed IP (since 3G is the only broadband option, ADSL is too slow to be usable) I have the setup such that only one is externally accessible via RDP to any IP, and to get onto the others, I have to RDP onto the first, main one and reach them from there (secured against that fixed IP)
Have posted separately about the possibility of fixed IPs with 3G, but cost is too high, and we don't even have a phone line because the quality of it is so bad it's useless so I don't really want to go down the route of having that just for a fixed IP.
I've never really worked with VPN software; forgive my ignorance - would this provide a way around this?
And/or - as a workaround: is it possible to set up the main server in such a way that I could use the route command in Windows to route, say, FTP access to server 3 via server 1, and the VPN secures that so only I can take that route?
Thanks,
Mark
