Proxmox VPN and NAS build

[Commander_Dork]

Howdy! I'm planning a NAS build and I already have the parts and software picked out. I want to run proxmox so I can use VMs or containers for whatever I'm needing. I'm curious if it'll work just fine to run a VPN on a container and then then TrueNAS on another VM but be able to Port forward the NAS and at the same time make it so no one can access the NAS unless on my VPN. This all makes sense in my head but let me know if I'm missing something.

 

My plan is also to have the VPN only protect the devices I allow and it won't be network wide. The only device that will be on it is my home server.

 

If you need to know, the primary hardware will be:

i5 12600k

32Gbs RAM

1tb boot ssd

You can do this, and I have this setup on my Proxmox system without an issue.

You don’t need to port forward anything except the VPN. Once you VPN into your network (id use wireguard) everything will work as if your on your LAN. SMB network shares, webUI’s, SSH, etc will all work as if you were at home.
