Wishing to be notified/emailed when VPN Server IP changes

widmark

My recently installed VPN server sits behind a dynamic public IP address on a linksys router.

I wish there was a way to get a text or email everytime the public IP changes, else I presume I will not be able to connect with the VPN client until I am able to locally logon to the VPN in its physical location and obtain the new IP. I am using Time Warner Cable broadband.

Anybody know of a solution since I can't get a static IP?

Topic moved as this isn't really a 'wish list' item.

This is something which will never come to OpenVPN, as this is really not reality related to OpenVPN. What you want is really solved by dynamic DNS updates. You look for solutions like this one: http://dyn.com/dns/ ... and there are more alternatives too.

ok, thank you.

Looks like my Linksys router only accepts TZO.com and DynDNS.org options only for DDNS.
