I need to work with upwards of 30 VMs (for testing, stored locally)

Virtualbox supports teleporting running VMs. Just teleport them to your travel computer when you need to split.

You could also just remote desktop that shit. Key based VPNs and SSH are pretty much limited only by your opsec.

Linux or Windows VMs? Big difference.

Will have to check out teleporting, thanks. Remote desktop will be a hassle since it's possible the remote computer can be shutdown accidentally or encounter a power outage.

Windows Server 2012 R2 on all the VMs

Stop downloading CP and use Telnet like everyone else.

Look we found the winfag tech iletrate

SSH tunnel or OpenVPN into your LAN then use like normal. If you haven't build yet wait for Ryzen. Use some sort of redundancy like RAID 1,5,6,10 and an offline backup.

You can buy a sever like this and install your favorite firewall via VM. I prefer an UTM because it has many features like SSL VPN (OpenVPN), VPN S2S, AVC, QoS for the AVC,etc.

To access to my server, I use No-ip via DDNS.

Btw Vmware, Sophos UTM and DDNS are free

Im a Network Engineer if you ask me, thats why I only use windows for testing

Will have to check it out, thanks. My only concern is doing work on a plane or whatever.

Voicemails are small, OP. Just use a thumb drive.

holy shit you are a fucking nerd. spelling a word wrong on an internet image board means you are stupid. enjoy your life living alone you faggot.

best post. thanks.

I'm just a hobbyist but I have dd-wrt installed on my router and vpn configured so I can remote in from any internet connection. Once connected to my vpn, I can use VNC or RDP on my machines to check on renders, downloads, etc. Works for me and it was dirt cheap. I don't use VMs, but if I did, I would be able to access them easily this way.

If I had to rely on my setup, I'd spend a little more than $5 on my router, probably set up a dedicated firewall, and definitely get a domain. Having to remember my IP and hoping that it didn't change can be frustrating. If my setup breaks, I can just fix it when I get home so I don't worry about it at all.

I'm sure you could scale this up with some dedicated hardware though and some actual server software.
