Is your server computer running Linux? I run a server on Ubuntu (I use Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 set to boot to the terminal) and this is how I control mine.
Install Screen:
sudo apt-get install screen
Screen allows you to open a console that can then be detached from and stay running, so if your SSH connection closes, the server will stay running.
To use SSH, you of course need an SSH server, the most popular one is OpenSSH
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
I have never had to change any settings with it, and I don't recommend you do, but if you must, the help page is here.
Now, in addition to having port 25565 forwarded to the server computer, you also need to forward port 22 (If your router/firewall has presets, just find "SSH Server"), you also need an SSH client, for your phone, just open it's app store and search for "SSH Client", and for computers, there is a Chrome plugin. Connect to the server by typing the same IP you use to connect to the server, and the username you use on the server computer.
When you reach the terminal, open Screen, just by typing it:
screen
Then press enter and you will be returned to a command line, then just start the server, and when you are ready to disconnect, press CTRL+A, then press D, and close the session. Your server will remain running.
When you want to reconnect, open a new session and type
screen -r
and you will be returned to the same console that you left.
But knowing that I took 30 minutes to type this, you probably aren't using Linux
