Re: Supporting my elderly mom's Linux
Just a thought... Not sure if it might be good or not...
What I do for my home network is I have a wrt54g running dd-wrt o it. I have it setup so I log into the wrt54g via ssh directly using a public/private key pair and disallow password logins. Once I log into the router I then use port forwarding under putty to get to any ip/port in my network.
You can setup a free DynDns account which will track her IP, do the ssh directly on the router, and use port forwarding on your local ssh client. This way, you can run everything standard on her network and the only open port on the router will be the non-standard ssh port you assign. |
