Gargoyle Forum

I am running Gargoyle to control internet usage in a holiday rental chalet with a Satellite Broadband connection. Because I only have access to the property once a week I have tried to set up remote web access to the router. I have enabled remote access and changed the http and https ports. I have also set up an account with No-ip and tried to set up DDNS. However the router will not let me save the settings (error message that it cannot connect to the server). I also cannot connect using the dynamically assigned IP No (which doesn't seem to change) and port (https://xx.xxx.xx.xx:yyyy/).

I have checked with my ISP and they advise that DDNS (e.g. No-IP) will not work with the Satellite system and I need to upgrade to a static IP No. This would not be a disaster, but it would entail extra monthly costs.

Any ideas for a work-around or do I need to upgrade to static IP?

you could use reverse OpenVPN

you would need two gargoyle routers.

When Eric get those $50 routers back in the store that would be perfect.

I suspect the ISP is doing double NAT and its a port forward problem. Reverse VPN solves all these problems.
