I have a piece of software that connects to a punch clock at a remote location. This is achieved by placing the clock in the DMZ of the remote network and connecting to the public IP address of the remote site. The software will only accept an IP for the remote site not a URL. Is there any way to set an IP address such that it forwards to a Dynamic DNS URL? This IP would not need to be accessible from anywhere but the workstation where the time & attendance software runs. Thanks! |

Please provide more context. I do not fully understand the question. Is this HTTP traffic? Is the remote punch clock's IP address dynamic, and is that why it is a problem to use the IP address? |

There are many very similar questions to yours in this forum already and the answer is that it is not possible to do what you're asking. It also sounds very similar to this question, which also referred to a network connected punch clock. If the IP is dynamic then you'll have to work your own solution, such as the one proposed here, if the software will only accept an IP address. This of course assumes that you can change the settings of the program from a script. Your only other solution would be to use a VPN. |
