This is a confusing question since wouldn't you want vpn access and wouldn't one of your servers provide that?
What?? I didn't mentioned vpn access.
You didn't mention it directly, but if you want to access any of your hosted services remotely, you will almost certainly want some kind of VPN solution. I host a few things over HTTPS,, but there's no way I'm exposing anything critical directly to the internet.
Yeah I do do that as well :)
I’m just worried that something goes wrong hardware wise or bios wise and I can’t turn it off or it causes a house issue.
