How to connect to a natted OSX via a Linux VPS

Saturnix

I have a linux (debian) VPS hosted at OVH with a public IP.

At home, I have a Mac OSX with some of cool features (web server, screen sharing, file sharing) I can't use, because the home connection use an IP shared across multiple households (I have no public IP).

Can I solve this with OpenVPN? Can somebody point me to a guide which address this situation and offers some advice? Many thanks!

Sorry I can't tell right now, since I'm not at home (will update asap). However, I remember it gives an IP which starts with 93 (I live in Italy).

I tried many times to open ports on the router and Mac OSX but there's just no way I can get access to my Mac with a computer outside of the network. I've read that my provider gives only natted access to the internet so, for instance, if you were to install a game server or a video survelliance application it would not work. The IP is shared accross multiple households. You can ask for a public IP for free (thanks to EU laws), but it is not an option for me right now.

I'd like to use my Debian VPS with un-natted access to the internet.

It may be possible for OpenVPN to solve your problem of no public IP on your home devices.

Can you home Linux Server connect to your VPS VPN ?

I mean OSX -> VPS .. I presume you can ping the VPS for example.
