Hi,
I want to keep my laptop running to seed torrents while I am away from my home to attend classes. I wish to buy a smart plug so I can remotely turn charging on and off based on the battery level of my laptop. My PC is running Windows, so I have looked up options to monitor and remotely access my PC and learned about RustDesk, AnyDesk, and Chrome Remote Desktop. I don't think they will work for me because:
1. RustDesk needs to be self-hosted but it won't work for me because I'm behind CGNAT and ISP charges for static IP and such.
2. AnyDesk requires you to reconnect after every 30 minutes in free tier?
3. I tried Chrome but I personally don't like Chrome to be monitoring my desktop and having access to it all the time.
I would be grateful if you guys could suggest me a good smart-plug for this and a better alternative way to achieve my goal. I'm hoping to do this without paying for any service if possible. I only have limited knowledge in this area.
Thanks in advance!
