You should configure it so it can be reached from your external network. This means setting up proper access controls and possibly using VPN or secure tunnels to connect it outside the isolated local network.
Relies on the tools you have but consider an IPSec VPN or OpenVPN based solution depending on DD-WRT support. It's been quite some time since I explored this, so I'm uncertain if a native VPN client exists. For more advanced setups, you could run a VM as a VPN server, create a site-to-site connection between your home and a VPS, and then connect to the VPS for remote access. This approach helps block spammers attempting to breach the VPN, though it adds complexity. Properly configured router VPNs usually handle such attempts effectively, deterring most automated attacks after several failed login attempts.
You're dealing with a few interconnected tasks here. First, you've got multiple old PCs on their own network, each running a Minecraft server. You want them all connected remotely via a desktop solution, and you need a startup script to launch both the server and the remote access. You've managed to get parts of this done so far, but now you're facing challenges with setting up the remote desktop feature. Let me know if you'd like guidance on any specific step!
