November 11, 20232 yr Hi everyone, I’m looking to start a project (3d animation) with a friend of mine and we want to try and keep all our files on a central server. I have a server setup already on my network, however I’m looking for a bit of advice on the best way to give them access to my server from a different location. A few questions I had about the setup: - As they will be accessing working files directly off the server, speed would be a big one - is there anything I need to consider? - Best way to keep the connection secure? My current plan is to setup a seperate share for the project and assign it its own HDD and I’ve read I can also create a new pool to assign a cache drive. This to hopefully keep my personal files and project files completely separate. However happy to change this if there’s a better way to do this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!

However, most IPS providers have much faster download speeds than upload speeds-- ~10:1. Fiber is often the exception or paying for a 'Business' class connection with Cable type providers.
November 11, 20232 yr Author Hi thanks for your reply! I’ll take a look at wire guard thanks! I have also seen one called tailscale - https://tailscale.com which from what I’ve read is built on top of wire guard and removes the need for port forwarding? Has anyone had experience with tailscale?
