Any ideas?


Get a pi zero w and setup a VPN so your NAS appears as a local devices
when you log in from the internet.

You can set the firewall to only allow access to the NAS if you want.

They cost about £17 with a PSU.

You could even put your NAS disk in a USB case and use the pi as a NAS
server if speed isn't a problem.


Many routers have built in VPN servers - and for that matter can share a
USB HDD over the network. The Pi may not be needed at all.
