Accessing NAS Remotely with VPN enabled.

[belkin 0]

Hi.

 

I am a total noob with regards to VPN setups, but have managed to flash my router with Toastman's Tomato.  OpenVPN is set up, and working well, although there is a huge speed drop.   I also have a QNAP NAS box, which prior to setting up Tomato and AirVPN, I was able to access remotely.  This now is not functioning, and I havnt got a clue on what I need to do.  Any pointers with regards to what configs I need to carry out, would be much appreciated.

Hi,

 

The huge speed drop is to be expected since consumer-grade routers aren't designed to handle high-speed encryption.

To have remote access to your NAS, you need to forward a port.

 

You can leave the first box empty, choose TCP and choose local port 443 or 80 depending on how you access your NAS.

 

Then from a remote connexion: http://<AirVPN_IP_address>:<port> or https://<AirVPN_IP_address>:<port>

where <port> is the one in bold not the local one and <AirVPN_IP_address> is here under "Visible in internet with IP (Exit)"
