What I use: my server is running Linux, so I use 'knockd' to listen for "knocks" and a couple scripts to open things for knockers. The premise is that one must "knock" on a certain number of specific ports and knockd will see these and automatically open a firewall for those ports. It is easy enough to script these knocks on Linux, and should be port knocking clients for Windows. If their IP changes, they just have to knock again. If they have a reasonably static IP (where reasonable = "making changes won't annoy you too much"), you could do without that and just restrict access by IP. I would do this at the router instead of relying on SBS's network restrictions, but I'm paranoid. That may be the easiest method. Just open 3483 tcp/udp and 9000 tcp from their IP to your server at the router. Will work fine until their IP changes. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81495 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
