Comment on Would there be any potential problem of hosting public and/or private (vpn) services in a school office?

  If authorized by the school IT department and policy, yes. Ask them, not us.

    Yes, already have. It seems they don’t care.

      If that’s how you want to run your server that’s your choice, but if it were me, I’d think long and hard about the legal implications of doing this.

      So far you’ve not said anything about what you’re trying to achieve and that’s not helping.

      Then get that in writing.

        This. Get in writing the specific legally binding policies for personal use of their network resources. Not just the personal opinion of the IT people. They don’t write the legally binding policy that you are responsible for following.

    Well, I am asking also security wise. I know most schools snoop. Can they somehow see traffic through ssh or VPN? Or just the protocols, logs, dates, etc

      The SSH and VPN traffic is encrypted. Unless your private keys have been compromised, nobody can see what is going over the tunnel. They can log things like the IP addresses that are connecting to it and how much data is being transferred though.
