[How To] Always on, remotely accessible torrent server

[zilexa]

This seems overly complex. If this is about accessing webUI of your torrent client (or any other type of service/app) remotely, from outside of your home network, simply use SSH tunneling. It is by far the most secure solution since it does not require you to open extra ports. And it’s suprisingly easy!

You simply use the same port you use for SSH.

[HowTo] SSH Tunneling: Remote Access webUIs (like Syncthing, Transmission) without portforwards! The safest way

This article explains how to access your OSMC device’s command line via SSH. But if you also want to access other services like Transmission webUI on your OSMC device while you are not at home, you can also use SSH! Instead of getting into your router settings and opening ports (which is very unsafe). You only need to expose the SSH port of your OSMC device, and be done. Nobody can access anything via that port, since it’s only used for SSH. I do it using PUTTY on Windows and Termius on Android…

It allows you to connect quickly via SSH but also add SSH tunneling. No need to open extra ports or expose your Torrents WebUI to the internet. Very easy and probably the safest, most secure method!

For Android devices, I would recommend Termius but there are plenty options. It’s like Putty but on a phone and more user friendly. After you connect via Termius app, you can access the webUI of Transmission (or Deluge, if you prefer) or use an app like Torrnado (which I highly prefer since it has way more options than the webUI of Transmission).
