best vpn to use using dynamic dns
guys,can anyone tell me which among the types of vpn will work best with dynamic dns or can be used to setup dynamic to dynamic vpn, thank you
Re: best vpn to use using dynamic dns
I don't think it matters which vpn you want to use with a dynamic dns. You just need a script, that regularly checks if the remote dynamic ip has changed, and then edits the config.
If you want, I can post my script for openvpn.

Re: best vpn to use using dynamic dns
sure can you post it please? right now im using change-ip as my dynamic dns provider and im also using a scheduler on that script, so i guess what i need right now is a script that will reconfigure the vpn configuration when the remote ip is changed.I don't think it matters which vpn you want to use with a dynamic dns.

Re: best vpn to use using dynamic dns
The script was rewritten from the original changeip script.
Code: Select all
# Define User Variables
:global ovpnhost "Put remote ovpn server DNS hostname here"
:global ovpnif "Put local ovpn client interface name here"
# Define Global Variables
:global ovpnip
:global ovpnlastip
:if ([ :typeof $ovpnlastip ] = nil ) do={ :global ovpnlastip "0" }
# Grab the current IP address of server.
:global ovpnip [:resolve $ovpnhost]
:global ovpnlastip [ /interface ovpn-client get $ovpnif connect-to ]
# Did we get an IP address to compare?
:if ([ :typeof $ovpnip ] = nil ) do={
:log info ("OVPN: Cannot resolve " . $ovpnhost . ", please check.")
} else={
:if ($ovpnip != $ovpnlastip) do={
:log info ("OVPN: Updating " . $ovpnif . " IP address from " . $ovpnlastip . " to " . $ovpnip )
/interface ovpn-client disable $ovpnif
:delay 2
/interface ovpn-client set $ovpnif connect-to=$ovpnip
:delay 2
/interface ovpn-client enable $ovpnif
} else={
:log info "OVPN: No update required."
}
}
# End of script
Re: best vpn to use using dynamic dns
so i guess what i need right now is a script that will reconfigure the vpn configuration when the remote ip is changed.
Code: Select all
:global "vpn-interface-name" "pptp-vpn"
:global "vpn-dns-name" "remotevpn.yourdomain.com"
:global "new-vpn-ip" [:resolve $"vpn-dns-name"]
:global "current-vpn-ip" [/interface pptp-client get $"vpn-interface-name" connect-to]
:if ($"current-vpn-ip" != $"new-vpn-ip") do={ /interface pptp-client set [find name=$"vpn-interface-name"] connect-to=$"new-vpn-ip"}
Re: best vpn to use using dynamic dns
Hiso i guess what i need right now is a script that will reconfigure the vpn configuration when the remote ip is changed.This should get you going.Code: Select all:global "vpn-interface-name" "pptp-vpn" :global "vpn-dns-name" "remotevpn.yourdomain.com" :global "new-vpn-ip" [:resolve $"vpn-dns-name"] :global "current-vpn-ip" [/interface pptp-client get $"vpn-interface-name" connect-to] :if ($"current-vpn-ip" != $"new-vpn-ip") do={ /interface pptp-client set [find name=$"vpn-interface-name"] connect-to=$"new-vpn-ip"}
How do I use this with a Open Vpn setup ?
Looking at the last two lines I guess I have to change the interface type so that it will "read" the ovpn interface that I specify in line one... I tried both "ovpn-out" and "ovpn-client", but it doesnt seem to work.
