This would be better done with a VPN than simply allowing external access to your printers.

- m_eiman 16y agoThat works until you're sitting behind another NAT that uses the same internal IP range as the one you connect to over VPN - which is very likely since everyone uses 192.168.0.0/24.
- randomtask 16y agoAssuming the VPN server doesn't just allocate from a pool of public IPs owned by the organisation you're connecting into (the scenario I had in mind here) then yes this is an issue.
- m_eiman 16y agoI'd guess that the NAT+NAT problem is more common than the enterprise variant, since very few companies other than enterprises have more than a few IPs.
