Suggestions for Network Architecture
Hello, Would anyone out there be able to suggest what would be the best setup for a small business network with a remote office, and external salesperson? The primary office is currently usin...
This is true, but it also works fine without a dynamic dns provider.
Whilst many ISPs will allow dynamically assigned address to remain unchanged for long periods, not all of them do, and there may also be events, outside of the subscriber's control that cause the address to change (for example, a power outage) - use of a DnyamicDNS provider allows the VPN to continue working without anyone having to change the configurations.
Yes, in some cases, you can run for weeks, months or years, without the address changing - I know, I have done it - but Murphy's law is of such that the address will change at the most inconvenient time, causing the VPN to fail - how do you plan to fix the problem from a thousand miles away?
I use VPNs for remote support - not using a Dynamic DNS provider is a risk I am unprepared to take.
