[FX.php List] [OFF] Method to access our server from outside

[Ernest Cunningham]

Hmm,
How I hav attacked this in the past is I setup VPN access at home so I  
could VPN from work and remove any local domain exculsions.

Then you simple connect to your vpn, open your browser and type in  
your website.

Very simple, very effective.


Kind regards,

Ernest Cunningham
