[arm-allstar] Allstar Node remote?

[Mark Johnston]

15 minutes... well several hours later...
I setup a VPN connection with purevpn service - openvpn appears to work, but
can't get a static IP unless I use PPTP, when I use PPTP, as soon as I
connect via SSH
the VPN drops.

Anyone have ideas on how I can do what I originally wanted to do, that
seems like it would be easier...
or at the very least, whats the fastest way to force update of the IP on
Allstar... as openvpn, It would keep changing.


Thanks,

Mark
