Posted by: Alan in domain nameQuestion by ikenna: when I configure a vpn active directory in my home, do i need to register the domain name to connect users?
for example my ip is 10.10.80.80 and my domain controller is forward.com. should I register forward.com on internet or just leave it on the domain controller

unless forward.com is registered it won’t be found outside of your LAN.
If you have a fixed IP address (10.10.80.80)……use that to connect from the outside in. If that is dynacially assigned by ISP it will work for a period of days till your ISP changes it.
If forward.com isn’t registered and you didn’t buy a static Ip google DYNDNS updater, you may be able to use that.
