New Q: Has anyone used VNC with DynDNS

[Paul Moore]

Hello,

I've given up on my presvious questions a few posts back, because I've just
discovered that my ISP blocks all inbound ports below 1024, so I can't
tunnel through HTTP.

I'm trying to use DynDNS to access my home PC from work, using VNC. The
firewall at work blocks all outgoing ports except 22 and 80, and my ISP
blocks all incoming ports below 1024. So, I've been trying to use
DynDNS.com's URL redirect feature to redirect a normal web access to
<RedirectURL>:80 to <MyPCAddressURL>:5900. My PC's web address
<MyPCAddressURL>: is also dynamically assignerd by DynDNS.com.

Is the <RedirectURL> a fake address, or do I also have to register it to my
machine's IP address, similar to <MyPCAddressURL>? How do I fill in the
fields on the DynDNS site? I'm getting confused because the explanation at
the DynDNS site is not very good.

Many thanks,
Paul

I have been using dydns.org for a few years. you may need to open the ports 5800 to 5900. when connect it using http://yourname.dyndns.org:5800.

www.gotomypc.com and subscribe to one connection this will get around all of
the firewall issues. We use it for our clients all the time for this very
reason. It is not free but the biggest benefit is the firewall traversal.
