Как запустить VPN на сервере Ubuntu, который дистанционно управляем VNC-средством-просмотра?

Я решил эту проблему путем создания сценарий Python для проверки моего внешнего IP на поле Linux каждый и Gmail это мне, если это отличается. Я использовал cron для выполнения его каждые 3 минуты. Это действительно неуклюже, но это работает отлично.

#! /usr/bin/env python


# Check for internet connection

def internet_on():
    try:
        response=urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com/',timeout=1)
        return True
    except urllib2.URLError as err: pass
    return False

#loop_value = 1
#while (loop_value == 1):
#    try:
#   urllib2.urlopen("http://www.google.com")
#    except urllib2.URLError, e:
#   time.sleep( 10 )
#    else:
#   loop_value = 0
