Hey guys i have a windows Samba server setted up in my wifi router connected with usb hdd  

 

GOAL : to able to access these files outside my house with another network

 

What i have : i have port forwarding available on router , i have no-ip account and a Dynamic dns available.

Set up a VPN. That is much, much more secure than opening up random ports on the router. A link to a guide if you wish to follow is in my signature, right below this post.

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

MKBHD is but an Apple propagandist and fanboy. Take his videos with a grain of salt, especially about anything Apple. In his video titled "I Visited Apple's Secret iPhone Testing Labs!", he has shown that he makes no effort to fact check Apple's claims, and takes it at face value. I do not believe he can be trusted as an Reviewer/Influencer.

VPN. Whatever you do, so not open ports for SMB. SMB is not secured properly to be exposed publicly… but setting up a WireGuard VPN would solve this and is relatively simple with plenty of guides available.
