VPN connection wihout static IP on server and client side ?

[miki8282]

Hi,
here is my problem, i want to set up survelilance cameras (cheap slolution) on my object. I will connect them to my computer in office and i want to be able to access that computer (where cameras are) from my home.
The problem is that on both sites i'm connecting to Internet with dsl.

So, now i'm wandering is it possible to use and set up VPN without static IP.

How does VPN SSL work, and is it just for client side?

Any help would be appreciated

yes you can do it, however, you need a public domain name. you would have to frequently check your router IP to see if the isp changed the IP, then you would need to update the public dns record for your domain (btw, you will want to make a public child domain name like vpn.domain.com). the dns record update can take up to 24 hrs to propogate globally (could be 10 minutes, could be 5 hrs, could be 24 hrs...I've even seen it take 26 hrs once).
