Actually I have done a fair amount of remote testing from a PC in my home. I VPN into work where we have a Unix machine that is the remote tester. The remote tester machine (running jmeter) is then used to test websites at work that aren't on the same subnet. The tricky part of this setup is that the remote test machine cannot find my PC to provide back test results unless I expressly give it the virtual work IP that my PC is using when VPN'd into the work network. The way to specify this to specify the Djava.rmi.server.hostname parameter in the final line of the jmeter.bat file on my PC. Here is the final line of my file. When I want to do remote testing over the VPN, I replace the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with the IP that my PC is using on the work network when it is connected via the VPN. Unfortunately, each time I VPN into work I end up with a different IP on the work network, so I have to manually update this file every day that I do remote testing.
