Connect and control your iPhone from anywhere SSH/VNC

[llemarie]

Hi,

The top of your script is fine. It should start with #!/bin/sh.

The 'push' idea I mentioned is purely theoretical. Instead of starting autossh at boot time, I'd like to start it on demand. I'd want to send a message to the phone using APN (maybe via Prowl?), and catch the event on the phone (using GRiP?) to start autossh.

Please look up any terms you're not familar with.

Regarding the change of IP, you are right, I'm seeing the same behaviour. There is a period of time where the tunnel is still up, but on the wrong interface. It is possible to send a signal to autossh (via killall) to tell it to renew the connection manually, but that is not desirable.

If the tunnel is started from the data side (Edge/3G), then I believe it's a little better. The tunnel still doesn't switch to wifi, but at least it doesn't go down.

Regards,
Lionel.

PERFECT!!

I coundt say it any better, i wish i had the ability to explain a situation (the IP/3G/WIfi glitch) as well as yourself... by all means, take over ;P...

i was just upset u didnt reference my nickname in any way, if u really have been using this for a long time, and u know other people who have, thats great...

but as far as i knew, No one (even on android) didnt know how to run a server accessible by public (specific servers only obv) over 3G on the iPhone/other phones....

but u obviously deserve major cutos for realizing what i did =)

If someone with the know-how would be willing to automate these tasks via a Cydia app for the rest of us tards that would be awesome.

Related question: is there also a way to trigger the iphone's native VPN client at startup and have it auto reconnect?
[EDIT] Tried fooling around with com.apple.raccoon.plist but no go. It looks like there are a couple of options in there for VPN auto-starting and keeping-alive that are set to false. Switching to 'true' didn't produce any noticeable change on restart. Ok ending edit, sorry for momentary hijack.[/EDIT]

I love the idea of this.

FYI, I got veency working over 3G on demand =)

It doesn't involve using VPN but that did set me on the right track to discovering what I needed to do... essentially, overcoming the reason why veency doesn't work over 3G in the first place. Get a public IP!
