Something the custom firmware doesn't support. Wanted to maybe try to use the USB and e-Sata port for hooking a hard drive up to it. I did have some custom firmware on the router but wasn't impressed with it and went back to stock. So I may have to looking it to getting that configured. I have the Linksys WRT1900AC which does have an OpenVPN server built in. Just the occasional document or photo probably. ![]() Thanks Budman, i'm not looking to access huge files, like ISO's or Quickbook company files. If you just grabbing smaller stuff prob not an issue, but if your hoping to access large file or lots of them its going its not going to be as simple as /speed of connection by file size to how fast you can move files. But if your goal is fast easy access to your share on your network while remote - just be aware that while convenient an simple while on the vpn is not going to be all that speedy. Vpn is great for access, and yes would highly suggest that vs port forwards into the resource on your network you want to access remotely. And if you vpn in and use say rdp to copy the file its going to be even slower Prob be better off with just a http or sftp file access. windows shares, cifs/smb or even samba version of it just not good performance over a wan connection with high latency. ![]() While sure you can map a drive - speeds are going to be slow. ![]() SMB is a very chatty protocol and has very small reads of the actual file does not really matter what your window size is and only one stream - unless you using smb 3.1.1 that is part of windows server which can do multistream. What router do you have now - just setup a vpn to it? If it runs 3rd party you can do that.īTW using smb over a wan connection is going to be bad at file transfers.
