Good point - I hadn’t thought about the upload. They are about 100 miles away.

I was planning on setting up cloudflare DDNS on the pfsense box to deal with changing DNS, and running a reverse proxy to point to the server.

I got it on amazon

Thanks for your comment!

I’d look for something you can administer remotely,

Totally agree! I’m not far now but who knows in the future :)

something that can double as a media center might be nice

That’s a great idea, especially because they have a collection of DVDs I could rip and put on there. Any particular considerations that matter when adding the ability to be a media center (besides maybe transcoding)?

Thanks again!
