I’ve had a IPsec VPN server for a while now. But I havn’t bothered to get the configuration automatically updated when my dynamic ip address changes. This doesn’t change very often, but if my router reboots or if there is a power outage my ip address usually changes when my […]
I’d just wanted to post and put this script into my archive. This bash script is straight forward and will fetch my current external ip address and compare it to the DNS entry that’s currently present. There’s also a little bit of security, the addresses must validate. This ensures that […]

Firstly, put VMware Workstation on autostart, and then use this small bash script to autostart your machines. The script will parse your inventory file usually located in ~/.vmware/. It includes your config and paths to the .vmx-file that the script will use to start up the machine. So change the […]
