How to administer computer when no inbound connection is possible?
I have to periodically administer my parent's Linux computer, because they
are too old to understand how to do this themselves. Computer is in the
remote location. I always used ssh through the port forwarding on the
router. However, their provider recently removed the ability to make any
inbound connection and my ssh doesn't connect any more.
My question is: what is the next best way to administer it?
I know that VPN can possibly be used. I can (maybe) set up VPN network
with this computer. Also I can make it try to connect with ssh to my home
computer on a particular port for ex. every 15 minutes, establishing the
port forwarding back to it. Custom shell script should be used for this.
But what are the alternatives? Any other, nicer way to be able to connect
to this Linux machine from outside?
