vipwoody Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hello guys, I would like to know if there is anyway I can connect my printer to HTTP or anything else that can make my printer accessible from anywhere on this planet? Any ideas? Thank you :. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vipwoody Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 thank you MaceX for your reply. But my internet's IP address is a fake IP that starts with 192.168... I am behind an ISP and my IP is dynamic... any other options than VPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewism Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Use DynDNS to get a static address from your dynamic one. Then create a VPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way you can access all your computers and printers on your LAN over the internet. To setup a VPN you can use software such as OpenVPN or get a router with VPN functionality built in like dd-wrt. You may have a router that has VPN passthrough, but that's only so that you can connect to a VPN from an internal network. Doesn't IIS come with some internet printing plug-in? only windows server does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can that kind of stuff be intercepted and copied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
