Hey guys, I'm currently looking to share my shares outside my network.

 

Me and some friends mess about making youtube videos off and on and I want to be able to share our footage with them so anyone can edit.

 

Currently I'm thinking I'll setup a VPN and that way they can just access the shares as if they were on their own networks. This should allow them to use the share as a source in prem pro.

 

I've spotted and installed this plugin: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=35435.0

I had a look over the settings page for it and then the openVPN setup guide and immediately felt lost. Has anyone seen a guide for setting this plugin up kicking around?

 

Also does anyone forsee any problems with my current plan?

Is there a better way of doing this?

Easiest is to give VPN duties to your router if it supports it.

Had a look, not seeing it in there. Router is a TL-R470T+

Probably going to get this: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/31634/draytek-vigor-2120-gigabit-router as my current router can't run a VPN server AFAIK and probably do with gigabit anyway

I have no experience with the V2120, but I have been using Draytek Vigor routers exclusively, for more than 15 years and can give a strong recommendation.  While I was still running my business in UK, I ran a multi-office wan across several sites, using Vigor routers, and it worked very effectively.  I was also a retail agent/distributor for Draytek products.

If you're using the router for VPN, is it possible to allow access to only 1 of several shares on the unraid nas? Is limiting VPN access to a share a function of the vpn setup, or the settings of the share on unraid?

VPN is just like being on your local network (except for speed).

Wicked, great to hear

I think I am going to try and configure a VPN server on unraid in the mean time while I get around to upgrading my router. Should I use that plugin or would a docker be best? And how do I set it up?

I tried that plugin, but lost my server config, long story short I use the Docker.

 

I recommend OpenVPN from this https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-templates source, worked for me.

Any questions I had were stomped searching through: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?board=56.0 and Google.
