Hey, thanks for the reccomendation! I use Astrill VPN that has several protocols?(not sure about that), including both OpenVPN and Wireguard, it also has StealthVPN and OpenWeb. Any reccomendations on what exactly to use?
You can install OpenVPN/Wireguard server and connect to it from your computer/router like it were a part of your home network; You don't need to route all traffic via it. I use a similar setup at home to access work servers, and they work just as if they were next to me.
I used this script to set-up a Linux-based OpenVPN server in the past, I don't know about Windows.
Sorry, can you explain the first paragraph in more simple terms? Do you mean installing OpenVPN/Wireguard on the server at my home and connect it to my computer?
Install OpenVPN server at the place you will be seeding at (eastern europe?). Connect to it from EU, don't set it as the default gateway (or all traffic will be router there; you can access it via (tunnel) IP).
Thanks! I want to also ask, what characteristics should the seedbox have? Any reccomendations?
As much bandwidth and storage you can have, even a Raspberry Pi 4 would work I think
I want to host about 2 TBs for start, but may upgrade in the future. raspberry pi 4 is nice, but I think it is more expensive option in terms of hardware. But probably less in the long run.
Any computer will work, it's just that RPI4 is more power efficient.
You can create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for just yourself. This way you can connect to the server as it is in your home network.
To be able to do this, you have to install a VPN server (like Wireguard or OpenVPN on your seed box).
To connect to the server you can then use SSH if you run a Linux server.
installing with PiVPN is extremely easy!
Cloudflare Tunnel (free)
You can proxy http traffic thru it (very good for that), and it has a way to use ssh thru your browser but not sure how good that is. You would still probably want a backup way to access it too
I would use remote.it to work over SSH remotely. Just setup you favorite server distro and configure remote.it everything else you can do it from your home.
Jellyfin
I think OP means seeding torrents, not serving media like Jellyfin does
