Assigning each VPS a different IP

v3llr · 12 Apr 2013 at 13:36

Ok so i am using OpenVZ as my visualisation software on Centos 6 and i have set up a few VPS's. I have given them local ip addresses (i.e. 192.168.0.xxx) and i can connect to them via ssh on my local area network.
What i need to work out is how to give them there own external ip addresses so that they can be accessed from outside my network (and not just by assigning different servers different ports) i.e. 192.168.0.99 could be directed to 1 external ip address and 192.168.0.100 to another.
Please could you help me with this. I will be very great full.

How many IPs do you have and which router are you using?

I only have 1 external IP but i will obviously by more and i have a Netgear DG834PN (willing to buy a new router )

OK you are not too far from the solution. Basically you still need your local IP address (which you need to reserve per device) but you need the router to map this local address to a WAN IP.

See bulletpoint 7 for example for BT home hub config.
