Thanks, Lukas, I was aware of IPCop (running via VMWare) but not of copssh for Windows. The latter is probably much easier to handle (no VMWare and a running linux system necessary). I'll give it a try!

I know how to restict assess to a normal IP address but if I enter (in the server's setup dialog) an address like xyz.dyndns.org (instead of e.g. > 120.231.139.12) it does not accept it.
