This should work with 99.9% of routers: set up the OpenVPN server at home to listen on port 443 TCP (assuming you don't have HTTPS server running - though even that could work, OpenVPN allows you to redirect connections when running in TCP mode; it doesn't matter if the OpenVPN server is behind a NAT router - just redirect port 443 to it). The client (your laptop) would then connect to the OpenVPN server, which most routers will pass, as outbound HTTPS connections are rarely restricted. You can then have the rdiff-backup server pull from your laptop using the IP assigned by OpenVPN (which you can set to a static IP using the client-config-dir settings). -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > There are many inside dopes in politics and government. -- Cohen's Law of Inside Dope _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
