well you could buy a domain name, then contract with a dynamic DNS service which will alway point your ever changing IP to your domain name. Then have that dynamic DNS service create A records for you for which will point a domain name like VPN..com to your IP address.

Just a thought.

the other thing you might consider is paying for a static address. The monthly cost of DDNS service AND the cost of a domain name, might make getting a static cheaper when you add in the cost of the DDNS service and your internet service with a dynamic IP.

Use a dynamic DNS service such as DynDNS http://www.dyndns.org I've been using their free service for a number of years and have never had a problem.

Hamachi is free software that will let you set up a VPN without having a static IP. It's also very easy to use. Here's a link.

The first thing to do is to request ur ISP for assigning your computer(s) with STATIC IP (the amount will be quite nominal). After that you can configure ur PC as your VPN Server. When you commence using a VPN please be sure to purchase a very good FIREWALL.
