Using RASPlus and secure remote access without a static IP

[stanzap 0]

Client had a low-cost four channel DVR at their cottage and wanted to view it from the office. T1 or DSL with static IP was not an option nor in their budget - only high-speed service available was residential cable broadband. The Linksys RV042 VPN router as the remote (cottage)endpoint, a DynDNS account hard coded into the router, and the router listening for an incoming PPTP connection did the trick. RASplus works as expected at the office (bandwidth constraints of course), the DVR still thinks it's being accessed from the local subnet, and the client is now satisfied!
