VPN for WAN Access?

[CaseyMazur]

I recently deployed a Nas4Free box on my network for use as a home NAS. I want to know how I would be able to set up a VPN to allow access to the NAS from anywhere (hotel, coffee shop, work, etc.). I have an extra PC collecting dust that could be used if necessary.

 

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to setup OpenVPN on the NAS box and then port forward the VPN port to your box.

NAS4Free is really good, but it's quite a boring distro. (this is why I like it, storage *should* be boring)

 

You can do this on the NAS4Free box but you might have to get your hands dirty if there isn't a plugin for it. It's mostly FreeBSD but there are a few weird things being that it's embedded. pfSense is another option.
