Hey, you're aiming to turn your old, high-performance PC into a storage device. To access it remotely when you're away, you'll likely need to set up port forwarding on your router so the right IP is available. Yes, you'll probably have to configure that yourself.

You might enable the port for the file server protocol on your router and access it using your public IP address. Finding a public IP is straightforward by searching online; just type 'what is my ip' and you'll see results. However, this approach isn't particularly secure. A safer option would be to install a VPN server on the converted storage device, configure the port in your router (pointing at that internal IP), then connect remotely from your device as if you were at home. Consider using WireGuard or OpenVPN—they're widely adopted and reliable VPN solutions.
