But then, there is another problem, if you don't have a real and true IP
address, if you are on anonymous 192 or 10 net (most likely the case),
then your dynamic DNS entry allows EVERYONE on your network the same
access.
I still say an SSH tunnel with port forwarding is more secure, besides you
can even compress the data stream.
