How to configure for Internet agent backups

[bobzscharnagk]

Hi everyone,

I have two Windows 10 machines at different sites, 'Home' and 'Club'. B&R Community is installed at 'Home' and an agent is installed at 'Club'. When I set this up I had a site-to-site VPN in place an just used the 'Home' server IP address and the B&R server name. Everything works but the backups over the VPN are slow and I want to switch to using the Internet between the two sites. I do have firewalls in place and can secure the incoming ports as both sites have fixed IP addresses. However I am struggling to figure out how to do this. The 'Home' server has two IP addresses both of which are local to the 'Home' LAN. When the 'Club' agent does a backup it uses one of those IP addresses to contact the 'Home' server. Now, from what I've read, I don't think I can change the name or IP addresses of the 'Home' server so I have to re-install. If I can rename the 'Home' server please let me know how. My question is what name do I give the 'Home' server implementation? I was thinking that if I use server.mydomain.com I could get that to resolve to a LAN IP address or my public IP address as I have internal DNS. Would the 'Club' agent use the IP addresses that the server passes to it or would it do a DNS lookup and use the resultant IP address and thus the Internet connection?

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
