[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1025727, member: 145676"] Sorry I misunderstood your setup. Also let me say - I am very serious about network security. You might think why bother no one is going after me. As I said once you start opening ports to the internet there are scripts ready to attack. Your machines can be made zombies, your email could get hacked and get blacklisted, hence making that email useless. If there is any information available you could become a victim of identity theft - it doesn't take much data to take your identity, open credit cards, take loans in your name, etc. So you should care if someone gets into your network. Do you ever buy anything online? Do you ever bank online? Do you ever do taxes online? If the answer is ever yes then you should care. But I digress... The high level view of what I described is this. remote client <->(internet)<->ssh server <-> any port, any computer inside the network I'll pirate an image from the web [URL="http://showmypc.com/images/how-private-ssh-server-works.png"][IMG]http://showmypc.com/images/how-private-ssh-server-works.png[/IMG][/URL] That being said you can port forward the server's ports as well - which I do quite often. As long as the server has an ssh-server on it (which the mac does) you can set this up. The no-ip setup is just so you can point to an easy to remember site name instead of an ip address.
