How to auto-redirect to a dynamic IP address
Authored by: diamondsw on Oct 29, '03 12:34:47PM

Or, you simply set up dynamic dns (http://www.dyndns.org/) and forget about it.

I currently have this set up and can access my computer via SSH from anywhere, then use SFTP (built-in) for file transfer, and VNC (tunneled through SSH) for remote administration. All completely secure and completely free.

How to auto-redirect to a dynamic IP address

That's fine if all the IPs are real. If the DHCP assignment is a private block, then dyndns is no use to this hinter as they're connecting within the same network as their machine.

Why not set up your server how you like and use something like Ipanema to have it deliver your IP via mail.app (in my case I use it to send a text message to my cell phone). It can send a message once a day or when the IP changes.
That app can be found on versiontracker.com -j.
