Hello, I've had my Unraid server for 2 months now and I have a problem that I couldn't get around.

 

I use the server for many different things, a big chunk is as NAS/file storage for me *and my friends* and here's the problem. I need to access the shares from outside, I know the security issues of exposing SMB so that's not an option.

 

So:
Is there a way I can easily access my unraid shares from the outside? By easy, I mean preferably without additional software (but if that doesn't work without it, for all platforms: Windows, Mac, etc.).
I could use WireGuard, but my problem is that the connection should be permanent, and I don't want all traffic from my friends going through my LAN. If you could adjust it so that the client only uses WireGuard for SMB, that would be okay, but otherwise it's not an option.

 

Thank you very much!

Although I have WireGuard setup on my Unraid server for remote access, I also have it on a Raspberry Pi with a split tunnel.

 

Here is a good tutorial on setting up split tunnel users on PiVPN.

 

There are several good tutorial online for installing and setting up WireGuard on a Raspberry Pi; Here is one such tutorial.
