both VPN and SSH via dyndns

Hello Dear systemd/Arch users,

I am now using a seedbox (an old laptop) which is connected all time.
It works fine. But, to manage it, I would like to be able
to get a remote access, via SSH. It is unfortunately not possible
to make a remote access through the VPN.

Therefore I am investigating using a dyndns alike system,
so that I could connect to the seedbox remotely via the SSH command.

But, there is only one internet connection, and the openvpn change the route and so on.
I am not good at networking configuration.

Do you think such a configuration is possible with only one internet connection?
Do you know some keywords I could use to search for documentation?

Regards,
Me

Hi,
ProtonVPN team told me this is not possible yet, but it could be in the future, they told me.

Access from outside the VPN probably won't work, protonvpn would have to set up port forwarding. Is SSH possible if both devices are in the same VPN and you use the VPN-IP?
Edit: That might be a security issue, so if anything that would probably only work if both devices use the same account to login.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer!
I will give it a try (I can connect several computers at the same time, 5 if I remember right).
Hope they all will be in the same VPN.
But an other difficulty is that I have to know the IP of the other computer.
