I've got a home server running Linux that I'd like to contact from outside my home network for the purpose of remote administration. I have DSL service with a dynamic IP address that changes a few times per day. I connect via ssh which, for the purposes of discussion, uses port 22. In my router running DD-WRT I set it to forward port 22 to its local IP address which we'll call 192.168.0.100. I was able to point ssh to it by knowing the external IP for the moment, let's say 34.45.126.99 like so:
ssh -p 22 [email protected]
I'd like to be able to use no-ip so that I don't have to know the dynamic IP address any more. Now I'd like to be able to do something like
ssh -p 22 bti@http://billsserver.no-ip.org
I might have misconfigured it or something, but I can't access it from the URL no-ip gave me. I installed the no-ip client on the machine and configured it. I guess I just don't know what to put in the config. At no-ip's web site in the profile it asks for its IP address and I'm not sure if I should be giving its local IP or my modem's current external IP.
Long story short, does anybody have any good setup guides or know-how in this area that can help? I've never really used no-ip's service before.
Am I going about this all wrong?
Thanks in advance.
