Hi
My objectives are to
A) have SSH from anywhere not just my local network onto my server.
B) use the server as an MQTT broker which I already have set up and working on local lan
C) allow for an Apache server connection out to the internet, not as a WWW website but a gateway to observe the MQTT details as an overview. I have this set up also on the local network (I guess that is a web server without a host resolution)?
I have a VPN provider who I spoke to and I used their services for almost 7 years, they upgraded for so cheap, like ten Euros a year to add a dedicated IP address, they said that (the much more expensive) business system allows for port management but as I am a student they trust I am using it for non commercial reasons and I can just write to them and they can open and close ports.
So, please can you tell me the simplest way to set this up? The provider offers a number of types of authentication, including Wireguard BUT the How2s I can find explain how to set up a web browsing system, where the user is using the general internet not allowing access inwards.
Can anyone suggest a starting point / How2 that I should look at?
Thanks for your help!
