Hello! I run a Rivendell server on the domain www.wrrj.org but unfortunately it is a domain with a dynamic (changing) IP address. Is there any way I can use wrrj.org in my hosts settings in rdadmin instead of constantly trying to change the IP address to the correct one? ...or at least have a

If your domain is pointing at a dynamic IP that's your real problem. In this day and age there is absolutely zero reason for this to be the case - static IP addresses are standard on any host in the entire world, and have been for decades. Not only Rivendell will be encounting problems if

I am moving to a college campus so in no way can I host Rivendell on my campus computer, which was my original intention. Their policies forbid that. So the setup is like this: Computer #1 located off-campus with a dynamic IP registered as wrrj.org(and updated with an update client): This is the

What latency are you referring to exactly? If you're referring to latency caused by live audio going from the client to the rivendell server, that will not be an issue for I'll be using Skype for live shows. I'll see what I can do but how exactly would I set up a tunnel system on a dynamic IP

You may also wish to check wether you residential ISP permits running a server on the connection anyway, around here most strictly forbid it, at least in the contracts, not sure how aggressively they enforce it. Also typically in the agreements is an up to bandwidth but no gaurantee of any

Just make sure if you use OpenVPN you run it in UDP mode, since otherwise the latency is an absolute killer for most usage. Of course, this implies you've got a fairly reliable link to run it down, since it won't tolerate packet loss nicely. Cheers, James Harrison On 19/03/2012 21:26, Kevin
