[Elecraft] K4 Remote Lives and Breathes!

[John Canfield]

I was behind a *double* NAT until I got a static IP but in the meantime 
I setup a reverse SSH tunnel It's been several years since that but it's 
a real pain to setup and keep connected. Finding a host provider that 
would permit a reverse tunnel is a challenge, few will do this.
