Hello,
Sorry if this is a stupid question or has an easy fix, but I'm stumped. I've searched google everywhere - but maybe I'm not typing in the correct search terms.

I run a seedbox/media server from my parents' house (free electricity!) I currently have a proxy for that but am looking to get a paid VPN for it too. My one issue is that whenever I connect to a VPN on that computer it kicks me off my remote desktop connection as the IP changes. Then there's no way for me to get back on unless I text my parents telling them to restart my media server. I know there should be some way to prevent this from happening but I'm not sure how I would go about it. The media server is running windows 10 and my PC is running windows 10. Also, before you trash on me for not just having it at my own place - I'm 19 and live in university dorms so it's not feasible to run a media server from the dorms.

At this point, any advice will help, thanks for your time!
