Hello!
I’m currently based in EU but am planning to go to eastern europe contry to visit my familiy and vacation. I always wanted to seed 24/7 but the electricity bills, plus many other stuff doesn’t allow me to host a server here.
I’m thinking to during my time in that country to build a small compact seeder server. Any reccomendations? I’m planning as to not use VPN on the server as I don’t think it will be needed.
My plan is to use an old computer with about 10 tbs of storage attached to it. All parts will be used as to not blow my budget.
Any reccomendations as how should I safely access that server and through what programm?(preferably free or non subscribtion based)?
Also any critique of the idea or any other reccomendations for the project?

Install OpenVPN or Wireguard on the server.
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?
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
