VPN linux distribution for wireless broadband router


Hi,

I am just wondering if someone can provide me advice. My ISP would provide me a private IP rather than a public. That's the reason why I wanted to shift to another provider who can provide me a public IP address. I have already talked to other providers and they told me that they will be able to provide me with a public IP address but it's dynamic (which means, I will be assigned with a different IP address everytime I plugged in my wireless broadband router). What I wanted to do is to establish a VPN tunnel so I can access my router whenever I am. Is there a linux distribution for routers like this one? I am also thinking that since the public IP address is dynamic, it would be great if there is a a support for dynamic DNS so it will be able to know what IP address it has right now. That way, I wouldn't have to ask someone in reach of my home router to provide me with the current IP address it has. Hope someone have tried this already.

I wanted to access clients connected to that router and be able to watch my favorite TV shows using the slingbox. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Hope someone can point me to a good resource on how to enable a wireless router to become a VPN gateway. I have a dynamic public address. I just can't find an affordable Wireless VPN device here in my country. Here are my requirements:

1.) Wireless Access Point
2.) WPA-PSK security
3.) DHCP
4.) Can define firewall rules
5.) Support for DynDNS (since my IP Address changes every now and then when I unplug the router)
6.) Support for OpenVPN

I really need to make this work. Thanks alot
