usb and com share thru internet

Hello guys. I need some help about sharing usb and com port via internet. I have a machine which repairs phones via usb&com called as BOX. I want to be able to repair phones while im not at home for ex with laptop everywhere. This box connected with usb to computer and uses COM ports as in this photo

Not going to happen AND it's a supremely bad idea even if it did. If you could access it via the Internet, so potentially could anyone else.

Your best bet would be a VPN, but I doubt even that would allow for remote mapping of hardware between systems, because as I said, from a security standpoint it is a supremely bad idea.

Maybe you should just get a second one of these boxes that you can take with you, and to have as a spare if something happens to the first one. Assuming it's legal for you to have the first one, getting a second shouldn't be an issue.

Since there is no app for this, are you going to write it?

Such things have been written but usually by folk with background in embedded software, Windows and more.
