Is it just me or is a VPN with the password listed in a public forum an incredibly bad idea. Can everyone one say BotNet?

i presume that vpn is only necessary for the windows file share element of how people generally intiate the rendering process.
if we can find another way of syncing the file system to a central source then vpn would be out of the equation.

We'd need something like syncback or synctoy to get the files automatically off of the server. Also it's possible to set a scheduled event to occur under windows only under low system load, which would be like the screensaver idea only would be easier to implement (well, for the developers it'd be easier!)

The file repository online could have the entire folder of Indigo (to ensure that the user was using the correct version for the render farm). The IGS files and a .bat file which has the commands to run indigo with the correct scene file and settings (and the -n s -h hostname).

Since we're assuming that the user needs to be on the internet anyway to connect to the server then the bat could read from an online XML file for the current render job.
As an alternative to .bat files we could use VBScripts as (iirc) they run natively from windows without anything else being installed.

Thoughts?

The password could just be sent in private messages. And only to members who has been here for a while.
Should solve that problem. ^^

PMing the password would be OK I think easier than writing a grid computing client anyway. Hopefully something can be figured out before winter in the north and then I can use my PC for heat. :D

So we just need any kind of VPN and a job xml file and a parser for it that automatically starts indigo...

That sounds great.
would be really nice to have it on a flexible port or 443 or 80 by default *g*
thats the best way to use it at work :twisted: and at home :twisted:

Huh, just looked through the docs, thought you could already specific a port to start the master on, but I don't see it.

Set up an SSH with port forwarding, possibly?
