Is it possible to access my unRAID server remotely? I just purchased a Trendnet TEW-633GR Wireless N Gigabit Router (to replace my aging Microsoft 811g router). I've played around with the "Virtual Server" but can't fiqure out how to make it work. I've also tried Laplink but it won't see the unRAID server at all, just my drives on my XP machine.

Full remote control, with full access to a keyboard, mouse, and all of the graphical elements of a desktop, is only possible with a 'host' component loaded on the machine being controlled, compatible with a controlling client on another machine.

Accessing your content remotely is very different than managing your array remotely, but both have a common requirement, that is to limit the access to just those authorized.

FTP is the best candidate for remote access to the filesystem. It's secure, and configurable, and works with many clients, including a web browser.
BryantD
agreed, ftp is much more secure and of course minimum requirement for ANY remote access is that you set up passwords (esp. for root)

I see a lot of fear-mongering and FUD, and not much help being offered to BryantD. You guys are better than that.

I apologize if this has been asked. I am a relative newbie to all of this, having build an UnRAID NAS about a year ago with help from this forum. It's been working alright (few minor issues between OSX and UnRAID wrt permissions and strange Plex issues). Now I'm looking to increases it's usefulness.

Have you looked at nextcloud? should be easy to setup and fairly secure. Normaly network connections methods like cifs/smb and nfs aren't very secure and will be failry slow over wan.

I'll take a look at next cloud. Thanks. Though I should say part of what I'm looking for is to be able to address the UnRAID page so I can restart Docker containers. Plex on my UnRAID server has a bad habit of becoming undiscoverable.

Yeah, that's why I was asking about VPNs in the original post. From the research I've done I see a lot of people talking about doing it, but very little I can understand as to how to do it, hence my confusion and request.

You can do what I do and port forward your unRAID server and run teamviewer its a quick and less painful way of accessing you unRAID box I had loads of problems and just never seemed to get openVPN to run on it but it is due to me more so than unRAID itself

I use the vpn that comes with Delugevpn by routing all the traffic through that. Then on top of that I use ZeroTier. The only thing I can't do is access web uis from my computer outside of my actual network. I set up some duckdns tings for radarr and sonarr and that's it.

Can you elaborate on 'cant access it' ? Are you trying to access a share, or the UnRAID UI?
Ricotta Elmar
no i want to access the unraid from outside my lan , like access it on tablet 5g connection if i need a file,
Jarsky
Yes and are you trying the UnRAID server by its DNS address or IP address? Try the IP Address (192.168.178.xxx)
Ricotta Elmar
i try to access it by the duckydns ? is that wrong ? localy i can access it fine but what i want is when i am on the go or at a other place
Jarsky
No, you use the duckdns to connect to the VPN. Which it looks like youre connected fine from your screenshot.
