Setting up SSH server on workstation
Hello, I am using a new workstation which I have total control over, and is connected to a university network. I would like to be able to SSH into this workstation from home. I know that my university has a VPN which I can connect to.
I don't know much about how VPN or SSH work, so I'm looking for a bit of guidance to get everything set up. Firstly, I know I need to install the SSH daemon on the workstation, and make any necessary configurations. This I think I can find enough resources on my own to get running.
Once that's done, however, I'm a bit unclear how to actually find and connect to the server - do I simply log into the school VPN, then access the computer through its internal IP address, as if I was connected from inside the network? If not, then how should I know the correct IP address to use?
Also, I'm unsure if my school dynamically assigns IP addresses or not - is there a way to configure things so the IP address of the server won't change over time?
Thanks for any help.
