There are times when you need to access your home computer remotely, either to retrieve a file or simply check out a document. Unfortunately, most broadband providers use dynamic IP addresses making your home computer a bit difficult to access remotely. Whilst there are free services that provide you a DNS entry to make remote access easier, you need to take note that doing so opens up your computer to the outside world. So how do you enable remote access and yet making sure that connections and access are secure?

Linux.com Feredico Kereki provides a step-by-step guide to enabling a secure remote access for computers without routable IP address.
