Hello,
recently I recycled my old laptop and started out with OpenMediaVault. After some initial difficulties I figured out how things work. Just to mention: I’m not an IT guy but can solve and figure out things. I want to have access to one or another self hosted services. But I’m a bit lost which approach and tools to use without exposing and making my NAS vulnerable on the internet.
Do you know any beginner friendly guides especially for OMV? I also want to understand what happens if and what my next action causes/can cause. So I don’t just want to dumb follow a tutorial and that’s it.
Thank you for your help and please let me know if you need any more details.
Does it mean I have to configure a VPN profile on all of the devices I need remote access from and I’m only able to access my NAS while this VPN profile is active?
No, just one. You set up one device/server as a VPN gateway (often called VPN concentrator), and you will have access to anything the concentrator has access to on your home network.
Either you use your VPN concentrator as your jump box, or you set up routing and firewalls to be able to access them directly.
Oh, now get it! Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will read into it on the weekend
