Exploring Server setup.

[SJLPHI]

Via Yast you can set up a Mail Server (IMAP/SMTP), a Samba Server (remote storage) and a VPN gateway.

I would try to get the mail/samba server running for the local network first. Then try to get a VPN tunnel working.

After that, read some more about remote access and you will find that is the difficult part, not only the basic setup but more how to do it safely.
I think the best secure solution is to set up a VPN and use that VPN tunnel to access the mail/samba server.

I think the first question really for me, is how could I register for an IP address globally accessible?
