- Connecting to an ISP via a router from elsewhere in the internet
- Posted by Mark BR on April 27th, 2008
A little complicated but here goes.
I spend a lot of time in Thailand but have a broadband connection in the UK.
There are certain sites I can only connect to from a UK based ISP, so I can
not connect to them when I am in Thailand.
I know I can connect to my UK computer from Thailand (over the internet
using remote access or Orb etc) and then access the internet from the UK.
But that means leaving a computer running for months.
Are there any routers that I could use that I can connect to over the
internet and then use my UK broadband connection?
So from Thailand I give the IP of my router (as a proxy?), give a password
so only I have access and then when I request a web page from the computer
in Thailand it appears to come from the UK.
It does sound like it should be easy .................

No doubt, however there is no need to re-invent the wheel,
there are plenty of Proxy Servers out there on t'internet.
You just need to put the address and port in your Internet
settings.
Have a look at the UK ones here

I just tried one at random 212.241.180.239 port 81 not very
fast, but a UK address.

Mark BR formulated on Sunday :
I do exactly that with a trust Linksys WRT54G-L - with DD-WRT firmware
installed.
Set up the VPN server part on the router, run Windows' VPN client
whilst your abroad & connect back to the router....job done.

Jono presented the following explanation :
I forgot to mention, the DD-WRT firmware also allows you to wake up a
PC remotely, if it supports WOL.

based ISP and unless I appear from one of those IP's then I can't get in.
Proxy servers don't work as they are not on the white list.
Thanks though ..........

Set one up that is, then.
Yuy need something like a friend with a fixed IP address UK broadband
connection, and a router that will do passthrough to the proxy port, and
an old PC running Linux and squid.
The conversation will be indistinguishable to the servers to someone on
that ISP making a web request.

the info?
Thanks

Get a router with VON server capability, eg Netgear DG834, any Draytek.
When in thailand VPN to your router in the UK, then all your web traffic
will go via the UK router.

Set up the netgear VPN server with a username and password, and note the
WAN IP address, i.e. the external one.
On the remote machine (assuming XP) start > network connections > make
new connection > network at my workplace > VPN > type in any friendly
name > select "do not dial the initial connection" > type in your
Netgear's WAN IP.
The first time you connect you will specify username and password that
you entered into the netgear.
It would be handy if you had a static IP for this, or a DDNS account
instead.

W F G brought next idea :
Do you mean to wake up a remote PC?
