I sometimes use BoincView to look at a PC across a VPN network. There are some issues with this, but the main one is that I can't use "update project". A message appears "GUI RPC request from non-allowed address ....".

The problem here is that the remote firewall assigns a dynamic IP address to the PC I am running BoincView on, so it's different every time. Can wildcards be used in the list of acceptable IP addresses for remote communication (e.g. 10.26.1.*)?

I don't think wildcards can be used... but the name of the other PC shouldn't change. So why not use that one in the remote_hosts.cfg file?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately there is no DNS lookup available for my home PCs, so that fails as well.
