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.

Hi graybolt, I'm Dirk, co-founder and CTO at Helm. Each Helm Personal Server is assigned their own IP address. We make sure to only use IP addresses that haven't been put on blacklists. If people abuse the service by sending spam it will only affect the reputation of their assigned IP and won't cause harm to the reputation of other Helms.

Each Helm gets its own gateway server with static IP address that the Helm establishes a VPN connection with. Port 25 is open on the gateway and the packets are forwarded to the Helm. This is how we work around residential ISPs blocking port 25.
