December 27, 20232 yr Hi guys, I am new to Unraid and I have a problem on how to access my Unraid shares over internet. I have read some topics from this forum but my setup is different. My Unraid has an public IP address, so i need to access my shares trough that IP. I need to copy my old Plex data to this one and i need to somehow map my Unraid shares trough SMB to my old Plex Server (Windows). There is any way to map Unraid SMB shares if my Unraid has a public IP address? Thanks!
December 27, 20232 yr Do you mean that your server is directly exposed to the internet without going via a router? This is highly inadvisable as Unraid is not hardened against attack. the normal way to access Unraid from the internet is to use a VPN so the connection is encrypted. Unraid has the WireGuard VPN server built in that can be used for this, although many people find something like the TailScale plugin easier to use and set up.
December 29, 20232 yr Have you already tried Cloudflare? What you could do is: - map your shares in Nextcloud and then access them with MFA via a cloud proxy (Cloudflare). - setup a VPN (Wireguard) over a VPS if you have IPv6. This is the only way I've managed to do it wtih my DS-Lite Connection. Never expose your unraid server to the internet.
