How to do a home crypto server with a shared or dynamic IP and a website on a dedicated server?
Hi!
I'm building a website where I will accept crypto payments. (website will be hosted on a regular dedicated server)
I want to install bitcoind, litecoind, geth and others at home to a server which I want to keep at home.
The home internet connection does not have a fixed ip, and maybe the connection i'll use does not have a public ip, only nat'ed (4G LTE).
How can I use the home server to answer to the RPC calls of my website?
Is it possible to connect to the website server via openvpn and then make the rpc calls to the VPN ip of my home server?
Is it possible to create a reconnecting configuration so when the connection drops it automatically reconnects?

Yes for both questions.
Edit: In fact, using OpenVPN is a more secure way to do so because RPC by default is run via plain text. Even if you run using SSL, it is still open to attack.
Yes. Yes.
No.
