currently they are working in fiber optic, but only in some region not all qatar

hhhh, can you imagine our ISP max ADSL bandwidth

@scottalanmiller exactly, it is a government ISP that don't have any competition, so they have freedom to do what they want

and also they force you to change you current wire installation and make a new one

@scottalanmiller yes, and also our ISP makes it difficult to possess static IP, he force you to buy a subnet of 8 static ip, and the price is very expensive, because here in qatar exist only one ISP (landline provider) for this reason they do what they want,

currently i check every time my public ip to make sure that it is still fixed to make sure that the 2 office are connected, i wish to make this happen automatically but unfortunately DDNS despair me

sometimes one week, sometimes 4 days, it depend

what about having each box a client and server in the same time, Mr Scott don't like this idea,
what about you Sir

do you mean by not relying on DDNS that i have to change the IP myself in each IP change ????

@JaredBusch yes Sir i'm using OpenVPN, and feedns.afraid.org as DDNS, and i'm using the built-in DDNS updater in pfsense,

is there any fastest DDNS server, that can propagate my new IP to other public DNS so quickly

yes this is the problem, the DDNS website get updated but what take time is this propagation between DNS servers

i'm using openDNS

in that time i find myself obliged to make the new ip manually in the client box, and wait for a period of time till the true update happen, then i change the ip by the name, but this method is nor reliable in business,

after ip change i logged into my account in freedns.afraid.org to see whether my record get updated pr not, i saw that the record was updated, but when i make nslookup to my dns name it still cach my old ip, after 20 min the snlookup give me the new ip, so the connection drop for a long period of time,

the problem is DDNS take a long time to resolve my dns name to my new ip after each ip change, so i want to backup this connection by making the server be the client in the same time

hi all

i have 2 remote location: Main and branch office, connected together via Site to Site OpenVPN connection using 2 pfSense Boxes, i have 2 Dynamic changing IPs in both location, one Box play the role of Server and the second Box play the role of client, is it technically possible to make each box to play both roles so that: if one Box's IP change the connection will not drop because each box is server and client in the same time or i should keep my currrent setup (client_Server) only,

knowing that i have set up a Dynamic DNS, but it take about 15 min to resolve my name with the new IP

yes you are right,

because we don't have an IT manager, so you will find difficult time trying to explain to someone (owner) who don't understand what you are talking about, he know only one thing which is doing what i want: how to do that, it is your problem

yes but you don't have the choice, the administration think that blocking those website they will improve productivity, and i have to make what they ask me to do, the problem here my situation will be very embarassing if the manager know that someone still have the ability to access facebook or youtube, and the worst the manager don't understand that you cannot block all online proxies, he will think that you are not sharp enough to do the job
