CraftyClown Hi there, We've just moved office into a shared building with a communal internet connection and I'm unsure how we would go about setting up a VPN in this environment. I have a great setup at home, using OpenVPN server on a netgear WNDR3700v2 router with the latest DD-WRT firmware, but obviously there I control the entire network, so everything is hunky dory. Is something like this even doable in this scenario? Or would we need our own dedicated internet connection? Sorry if this is stupid question but my only experience of networks is in a home environment Any advice would be gratefully appreciated Cheers Rich
CraftyClown Hi Traffic, it would be a server I was hoping to set up, allowing myself and my colleagues continuous access to our network, whilst out on location Cheers
Traffic You will need the office firewall to open the VPN server port, typically UDP:1194. You will have to speak to the network admins of the office network about that.
CraftyClown Ok, that sounds straight forward enough. Would there be any complications setting up a DDNS address this way?
Traffic Probably .. Again ..Traffic wroteYou will have to speak to the network admins of the office network about thatUnless you want to hire me :mrgreen:
CraftyClown Ha ha, I would if I could traffic 🙂 The sad truth is it will be the blind leading the blind here, as it appears the network admins knowledge of networks amounts to setting the password on the router he purchased from amazon 😉
CraftyClown I may well take you up on that, depending on how it goes with the clueless admin guy here 🙂
