Helm: Personal Email Server

Re:Helm: Personal Email Server by newman314 on Wednesday October 17, 2018 @04:50PM (#18243685)

Regarding #3, let's work through two use cases. A) I'm at home and B) I'm on the road.

A) I can connect directly, no biggie.

B) I am assuming that you would require a port opened/forwarded in the firewall to work in this case. Is this correct?

Hi newman314, we have a gateway server that we as a company manage the gives you remove access back to your Helm. We do this without requiring you to poke holes in your firewall because the Helm establishes an outbound VPN connection to the gateway.

A) I can connect directly

Can you? you'll probably need your own DNS resolver because if the clients are configured for my.custom.domain.com, it's not going to resolve to 10.10.10.10 and your connection is down. So you can have the box do that, but generally, split horizon DNS is a thing you don't want to set up in a set it and forget it install.
