[BNM] Virgin and VPNs

[Alan Braddish]

Hazlitt,

Is your customer using a residential Virgin line?  What type of VPN is it
exactly?  PPTP/ipSec?

I'm not too worried about the IP address, as I can just setup Dynamic-DNS to
get a hostname to use with the varying IP address.  You might want to look
at that for your customer, if their router supports it.

Hi Alan,

We have a customer who insisted on running a couple of VPNs over Virgin.
The problem with them is that Virgin say they have allocated a static IP
address.  But it turns out that this is in fact what they call a 'long
lease' so the customer's IPs change from time to time and we have to go
and reconfigure the routers.

Hi All,

Does anyone know if it's possible to host my own VPN on a Virgin
residential
cable broadband line?

I'm just thinking of a bog-standard PPTP (Port 1723) VPN.  i.e. do they
block any incoming VPN ports?

Thanks.
Alan
