Re: reverse dns broken

Hi there,

You are correct, these are the proxy servers for the Cosham area, just me being an arse.

Let me try an explain some more.

I need to be able to access my home machine while not at home. This would be simple if we had static IP addresses, just use the IP address.

As we do not have static IP addresses, I use a pc based client tool (Dynu Basic Client) to enable me to access via a memorable name 'xxxxxxxxxxxx.dynu.com'. The client tool checks my external IP address and publishes it to the dynu servers. Then when I access my xxxx.dynu.com address, I get redirected to my IP address, even if it has changed very recently.

This has been working fine until recently, with the client publishing my external IP address correctly. Now I am having difficulty accessing my home machine with the xxxx.dynu.com address because the dynu client tool is publishing my external IP address as one of the Cosham proxy server addresses.

I can still access my home pc via my external IP address, but if the address changes I am obviously scuppered.

Do you think this is the same issue?

Cheers,
Mike.
