Well the security issues ... ok

But damn ... I thought this would be a much more doable.  Guess I'll have to keep looking ..... Learn more about VPN's.

Thanks

New poster ... So hopefully this is in the right forum.

I just upgraded my internet speed and modem and wireless router.  The router I have is Linksys WRT3200ACM.

A few years ago I bought a Buffalo Linkstation ..... atm the exact model eludes me but it has 4 hard drives in it .... I think.


I never did elect to do the Buffalo acct to access it via the internet.  However, I do now want to be able to access this NAS from some remote location if / when I need.

Here is the level of my knowledge.  I familiar with port forwarding / have used a vpn before but just used.  Have searched out answers and VPN's are talked about.  I don't want to have to use a 3rd party forwarding service I've tracked my IP address and it's pretty much always been the same.  I also know of various no-ip type services that have my ip updated from my network.

What I am looking for is the steps that need to be done to be able to "SEE" my NAS when I'm 3 states away and in some hotel.

I hate using 3rd party stuff.  Which is why I'm here.  How do I do it without a 3rd party acct of some kind ( except for like a no-ip service if I want it )

Basically i know my IP .... do I port forward / do I ftp / can I map a network drive ( like I was / am at home? )  I'm not a total noob but .... I know enough to be dangerous .. lol

Any help greatly appreciated.
