I fired up a web server on a Pi tonight. I gave it a crazy, non-standard port number. I was able to access it from off net, with my router’s WAN IP address.<\/p>\n

Then I started to recall the nuttiness of dynamic DNS services, including the likes of No-IP, OpenDNS, and some others.<\/p>\n

Then I remembered that I am already running a dynamic DNS service that resolves to a unique FQDN! Softether VPN does this!<\/p>\n

Then it was a matter of relearning how DNS records work, and, finally, figuring out how to make this all work at my hosting service’s site.<\/p>\n

What I needed was a CNAME record within matthannan.net pointing at the FQDN provided by SoftetherVPN. I set this up via the cPanel at the hosting service, and I should be online in about 25 more minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
