    and your home broadband router will almost certainly support DDNS. Most do (BT, Sky, etc).
    I need to use a DDNS - BT Community

    As for high power..... Raspberry Pi is more than capable, but hard to setup.
    Or I'd use a Cisco ASA 5505 asa 5505: Search Result | eBay

    I hope you're not a network architect.
    Most consumer ones support DDNS but not a OpenVPN or WireGuard server. I just purchased a small router that I can plug into the WAN. Should be here tomorrow.

    I'm going to update everyone with my holiday pics over the next few weeks.

    Let's hope I don't need to update everyone with a pic of myself on the front of the DailyMail website for getting sacked :-D

    No, not a network architect.

      Unlike computers whose switched mode power supplies are very low risk. It's why they use them in data centres...

        In this respect, I'd have two choices. Keep a laptop running (bad idea), or keep a custom built desktop running. I'd imagine the desktop will be ok.. maybe. Once a fan stopped running and I have had issues with the liquid coolant to getting to the CPU. My tulip PC building skills are more of a risk than a PSU blowing up.

        A low powered router running OpenWRT is surely a better idea?

        the fridge does run linux though so maybe....

          How about starting a new thread and not completely derailing this one with a solution to your poor advice?

            If OP wants to take the risk, everything he needs to do it is in this thread, mostly in my posts.

            If he doesn't want to take the risk, then he can move on.

              The OP thought the reason for it being in his contract was to do with tax.

              Your illegal or contract-breeching suggestions in this thread (and others) is not something that should be recommended to any professional business, but it's clear that you are not professional.

                The advice you've got in your posts is incomplete crap.

                But if the OP wishes to destroy his contracting career by being a grade A muppet he's welcome to try and follow your advice - personally I would be asking the end client whether it's possible or not and then accepting their decision...

                  Dragging things back to the original point if the company specify work must be done in the UK then it should be done in the UK unless they grant you Jan exception.

                    Other than the contract breaking issues, why is the technical side crap?

                    This is contractually correct, maybe even legally. The options I have suggested are at your own risk. You're not going to hurt your client by doing some work from your ski chalet for a few days here and there though... I've seen people access their SaaS ERP systems from all over the world FFS.

                      I'm going to close this thread because of your opinion that breach of contract is something that should be done and that you proudly boast you do regularly.
