I have spent hours searching and reading... sorry if this is a duplicate but could not find an answer.
I am trying to remote to my farm in Missouri. I can only get Hughesnet at the farm.
I have had remoterig working with my Elecraft K3 when using wired internet in other states but I simply can't seem to get hughesnet (satellite) to work. I have read that IPv6 is a possibility or that a VPN is an option.
I am open to doing either. If the VPN is an easier solution I would be glad to go that route. I know very little about setting up and using the IPv6 vs IPv4. From reading it seems that a VPN might be a better solution.
Any advice and/or does someone know of a thread that can help me? Thanks in advance. I have been trying to get hughesnet to work for 6 months... very frustrating.

This subject has been covered before. Basically, it won't work, sorry.

Thank you for the prompt response....
So, I have looked at this answer a number of times and I am struggling with it. So let me pose the question a little differently:
Has anyone in remote areas, successfully used a remoterig setup without DSL or Cable internet? If so how did they do it? I am likely wrong but it seems that one of the purposes of the remoterig is to operate stations that are remotely located?
I can get dial-up internet at my farm and I can get satellite internet from a number of providers (I selected Hughesnet but could have selected others). I am open to any solution if there is one out there that would work.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this request/question again.

Yes, using long distance WiFi bridges. Here are a couple of older postings:

I am not sure if I understand your comment about the purpose being remotely located. Without a good internet connection, you
just plain can't use it. It can't work by magic!

Thanks for your help.
I will look into the links you provided. Hopefully one day we can get DSL at our location. Will not hold my breath though.
Again, thanks
