Hey /g/, networking noob here.

I want a way to sync all my files between my desktop and my laptop, whilst also keeping the files locally on each device. Looked at paid solutions but realised I'd rather host my own "cloud" so I have more control / because I don't want to give my files to the botnet.

Did some research and found out about owncloud. My plan now is to buy a raspberry pi and an external harddrive and create my own file server. (I know the bandwidth of the pi is terrible due to the shared ethernet and usb controller but I'm only going to be syncing small files so it isn't an issue).

My problem now is that I'm going to be moving to uni and using their network, which definitely won't allow port forwarding. How could I access this server over the internet with this in mind? Is there some way to rent a server and use it as a proxy between my computer and my cloud server over the internet?

Buy a VPS. Just google it.

Wouldn't tunnelling encrypted files be safer though? If I'm the one encrypting the files I know there's no backdoor, and the server will only see fully encrypted files, unlike cloud services which you upload unencrypted files to and trust they encrypt them properly.

Thanks anon, I'll take a look.

How do webhosts even make money now that VPS are even cheaper. You can do almost anything with one.

Be aware that since you don't actually own or house your VPS there is no requirement for a warrant for it to be monitored, inspected or siezed. An antagonistic party could simply poison your VPS with CP and you'd have no rights.
Why would anyone do this, you ask?
Because they need a credible patsy to carry their can.

OP here, did some more research and I think i've found a solution. I found a VPN provider that supports port forwarding.

On their forums someone's posted a guide for hosting a minecraft server through them so a file server should work too.

Thanks for the replies anyway guys.
