philthy Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 I am trying to setup my server for remote use and to share with a few friends/family. I've always heard going through a VPN would be the most secure method. However I don't want to provide Internet access, only my shares. Is there I way to limit what access you grant with a VPN or is there an alternative method? Thank you for any help! Quote

So they will have access to your server without redirecting all their internet traffic trough VPN. Other two easy alternatives are WireGuard and Zero Tier. Look up on the internet how to configure every of them and be careful what you give access to. You can give them access to the entire network and thet may or may not be a bad idea. Quote
