Using OS X Server VPN to Access NAS Drive?

Hi everyone!
I have been looking into getting an NAS drive for cloud backups and storage, and I was wondering if I bought an NAS drive like the Synology Diskstation, would I theoretically be able to use Mac OS X's VPN function to share the NAS drive to, say, my MacBook when I was not at home? Would that be possible, being able to access the files on the NAS drive whenever I have a Wi-Fi connection regardless of where I am?
Thanks much!

In addition to what Linc Davis wrote...
The performance of your VPN-based share will be the lesser of the VPN bandwidth, of the NAS bandwidth, of the overhead of whatever file storage protocol you're using to access the storage, of your own local network uplink, of the coffee shop network, or whatever happens to be the slowest link within this connection. 
Certainly prototype this configuration and find out what you can get for performance, but you might not find that the results meet your expectations.  Particularly if you're thinking that you'll get NAS share-like access akin to what you get when directly connected to your local network.  You won't get anything near that, unless you're connected on some big (and expensive) network links.
While many folks do have remote access into various remote networks via VPN and can access and transfer files via those VPNs, a common alternative used by many folks involves pushing the core shared files up to a cloud-hosting provider, and accessing the individual files from there.  This approach gets several parts of the connection out of the path, and moves your core shared files "closer" to you in the network; out onto hosting servers (usually) with much lower network latencies and with far larger network bandwidth.  Dropbox and SpiderOak are in this market, and there are others.
If you do head further along the self-hosting path that you're currently on (and if you do have the network bandwidth to support this), then something like OwnCloud might be interesting to you, too.  Here's a write-up on OwnCloud.  There are other private-cloud packages around, as well.

  • Using the App Server DAS to access "my" MBeans on cluster servers

    I am wanting to use JMX to access some custom MBeans that are on server instances that are participating in app server clusters. I figured the way to do this is by connecting to the DAS, but the service groups don't show within the DAS (like when using JConsole), I can access other AMX services, but not my custom ones. I can access my MBeans if I directly connect to the app servers.
    Any ideas? I am trying to keep my jmx client from having to know physical location of the clustered servers, and only knowing about the DAS.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I am not an Application Server expert so I won't be able to answer your question
    directly - but maybe the article 'Managing and Monitoring Web Services in
    Project GlassFish' could be of help:
    http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/appserver/reference/techart/ws_mgmt.html
    There's also the doc on docs.sun.com which you may already know:
    Chapter 20 Using the Application Server Management Extensions
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3659/6n5s6m5ck?a=view
    If you still don't get your answer - you may also want to visit the glassfish project:

  • VPN to access NAS attached to WRT300N remotely?

    I have a WRT300N which has a SimpleShare network attached storage device (NAS) connected.  I would like to be able to access files on the NAS and use the attached printer remotely when I am away from the house.  The SimpleShare has a print server built in also.
    Is the best way to do this with a VPN?  Ultimately I would like to be able to access the files directly on the SimpleShare rather than setting up a server at home.
    Thanks for any and all help.

    There are two options. Firstly, if your NAS supports FTP hosting and your printer supports IPP (internet Printing) then you can simply host an FTP server through the NAS and enable IPP on the printer. You may just required ports on the router. Secondly you can try a VPN, for that you may need a VPN router so using it you can create a VPN connection.

  • Accessing NAS Drive through vpn windows 8.1

    Hi I hope someone can help 
    I have been having some trouble connecting to my netgear ready nes from my remote office 
    we have a LAN to LAN vpn set up using 2 draytek routers witch works well i can print, access remote desktop and so on. I cant access the shared drive on the nas (or on a pc) with out dropping the firewall, how ever once i have dropped the fire wall i can
    mapped the drive and put the firewall back up, it works fine untill i log out from my pc, restart it or let the connection sit idle for to long, then i have to drop the firewall again reconnect the drives and reinstate the firewall then it works again untill
    i log out, restart or it sits idle for a time, I have done some research and all tho there isnt a lot  of info on the subtest, it has led me to believe that i need to allow an exception in the firewall, how ever i have allowed all of them and still no
    change can any one help???

    Port 3389 has absolutely nothing to do with accessing remote shares, that's
    for remote desktop.
    The ports needed to be allowed for shares are 135-139 both TCP and UDP, and
    445 TCP and UDP.

  • TB stopped receiving emails after one with huge attachment. Updated TB. Can send but not receive. Using Yahoo POP server. Browser access works fine.

    Several days ago, after receiving a 7MB attachment, I stopped receiving email on my Yahoo POP account. Browser access to the Yahoo server works fine. I obviously deleted that message and attachment but curiously, it and only it continued to be downloaded to my inbox!!! I tried downloading a new TB and installing it. Nothing changed except that specific email no longer appeared (another did though, see later). Settings are to leave msgs on server until I delete them. I transferred all my inbox to a local folder and then compacted mail and tried testing reception from another source and nothing appeared on TB, just on browser access. Oddly, one very old message repeatedly appears, I assume as a result of the auto check for new mail but not sure. Though I try to delete this old message, I can't. I haven't removed and recreated account yet because I don't want to lose all the filter history. Scanned for solution and can't find any. Any ideas, please?

    Starting your mac in safe mode will disable the Symantec stuff long enough to download mail. Should the issue arise again

  • Using an "iTunes Server" on a NAS drive for several users

    Like many others I'm trying to make a single drive containing my iTunes media serve different iTunes users round the house.
    Will the following work? Comments welcomed.
    Currently my iTunes Media Folder and media live on my main PC. About 130Gb in total.
    I'd like to get a NAS drive that has "iTunes Server" functionality and put this NAS drive on our home network. Then I'd like to move my iTunes media folder location into the 'iTunes Server' folder on the NAS drive. I'd also like to transfer all the data files associated with iTunes to the NAS drive. I believe with iTunes 10 that shouldn't be a problem and that I can contunue to use iTunes on my main PC as I ever did....it's just the media and data files will now all reside on the networked NAS.
    Now I'd like to point all the iTunes on the other PCs in the house to the networked iTunes Media folder and the networked data files. Then presumably they will boot up and be able to access everything just like my main PC.
    I understand that if more than one PC tries to edit the data files and iTunes media folder then corruption will inevitably result. I wondered if this could be prevented by using access rights management to all the networked iTunes files so that only my main PC can actually edit anything, add music, etc.
    That way I hoped that I may manage the library successfully, create playlists as required and have all the other PC users enjoy my work but without screwing it up!
    Maybe an iTunes data file can't be read by two instances of iTunes at the same time? Perhaps a second PC reading the data files can cause a corruption, if my main PC happens to be editing those files at the same time?
    In essence I want all iTunes related files on the NAS drive. I want all PCs(with iTunes) in the house to have full read-only access to the music, playlists etc. However I would like my main PC to remain as the sole machine that administers the iTunes library and related files.
    Looking forward to any help. Like others I've spent many hours trying to ascertain the best way to share a single iTunes media store around the house.
    I know I could leave my main PC on and have the other PCs get at the content that way. However the power consumption of my desktop setup is not insignifcant and we will have a NAS drive running 24/7 anyway for other duties.
    Hope that all makes sense.
    Cheers
    Geoff

    I now realise that if what I propose will work then "iTunes server" is not required on the NAS. However if the iTunes Media Folder was placed in the "iTunes Server" on the NAS then other media players like the ROKU could access the files?

  • Troubleshooting Error 0x70080035 when accessing NAS

    I posted this issue on the Microsoft Community forum and they recommended that I post my query in the TechNet forum.
    In summary, here is my tale of woe:
    As of last weekend, I can no longer access my Buffalo Linkstation NAS from my laptop with Windows 8.1 over wifi. I upgraded to Win 8.1 several months ago and everything has been working just fine until a few weeks ago (March 23). The problem is that the
    NAS appears by name in the network, but when I click on it it cannot be found and I get error 0x80070035, path not found. After spending several days looking for a solution, I restored my laptop to a restore point about two weeks earlier and everything started
    working again. It's been working fine until this weekend (April 5), now the same problem is back.
    I can browse it via its IP address, I can access the DHCP table in my router (Linksys WRT54G) and I can see the Linkstation listed there. I turned off my firewall (Symantec Endpoint) and I still get the same results. The Linkstation does show up as a media
    device and I can access all of my media.
    I can ping the NAS using its IP address, but if I ping it using its hostname, it cannot find it. I get the same results when I plug my laptop into the router. I can ping the NAS hostname from my Windows 7 PC without any problems. I can also browse my PC
    from the laptop without any problems. DHCP for the NAS just doesn't work on the laptop. Since I can ping the NAS via its IP address but not its name, my laptop has a DNS problem. Any troubleshooting help would be greatly appreciated.
    It was suggested that I try the following suggestions but nothing here worked:

  • Windows 8 Explorer cannot see NAS drive on WiFi connected laptop

    I have several devices on my home network. Windows XP PC's, Windows 7 PC's, Android tablets, and 2 Windows 8 laptops.  All the devices can see the harddrive attached to my WiFi router except for one of the Windows 8 laptops and I can't seem to figure
    out a solution.
    That laptop, compared to all the other devices, connects by a Wireless G adapter vs. Wirless N for everything else, but I don't think that's the problem.
    It CAN access the NAS drive through Windows Media Player, however, only media in that case and not documents.
    Why can it see the drive through WMP but not Explorer???  ...and what's the fix?
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
    The laptop has a Windows 8 32-bit upgrade installed. 
    Windows Explorer shows the Media access for the drive, but not the drive itself.

    For a regedit newbie, can you please provide step-by-step details how to: "create a new DWORD entry with the name EnableLinkedConnections and value 1". Is this a new line to be
    inserted? Thanks.
    Below is my situation. I posted an earlier version of this query on Microsoft Community and was advised to move to here on Technet.
    I am having trouble mapping
     and connecting shared drives on my NAS using WiFi. I have three new Acer i5-4th Gen laptops running Windows 8 with Intel 7260-N WiFi cards and Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 loaded. My NAS is also new. It is a Zyxel NSA325, replacing a
    WD My Book World Edition. The hard drives from two such WD boxes went into the Zyxel. So I do not have another NAS on hand to test. My router is unchanged. It is a Netgear WNDR3700v1 pre-MIMO dual-band N-router.
    One of the new Acers is a V7-482PG-6662. The other two laptops are M5-583P-6428 machines. The Acer V7 never had a problem with connections – neither via Ethernet nor via WiFi. Both
    M5’s had troubles at first via WiFi. Then I got one to work. But the second Acer M5 stubbornly only connects reliably via Ethernet; the NAS only shows reliably under Network on File Manager when using Ethernet. Maybe one in five times that I reboot with WiFi,
    can I see the NAS under Network on File Manager.
    I also have an old Dell Win-7 Ultimate desktop. It has no problems connecting via shared drives to the NAS via WiFi. I also have an old WD TV-Live Plus attached via Ethernet that accesses
    the NAS via Media Server, not via Network Shares. All PCs plus a Samsung Android Tablet can see / access the NAS reliably as a media server over WiFi.
    I went through many, many recommendations from the internet, trying to fix the WiFi problem for the Acer M5s. For example:
    Turn on various or all Advanced Network Sharing options, e.g., Discovery and File Sharing
    Make sure that Client for Microsoft Networks is on
    Set up and reset Windows Credentials for users
    Enter net config server /autodisconnect:-1 as admin
    Make sure that Network List Service is started on automatic (as well as not on)
    Tried using Net Use commands to map the drive, but got error message 53s
    Updated WiFi card drivers
    Multiple cycles of closing down all network advanced sharing settings, then uninstalling and reinstalling network adapters via device manager, then opening up all network advanced sharing settings (as described
    in the technet item: fix-for-cannot-access-nas-drives-sharefolder-is-not-accessible-or-error-code-0x80070035 ).
    Various cycles and sequences of rebooting and leaving machines on with the hope that they would connect.
    I have not tried any of the advice about reg editing or setting different MTU values. Most of such advice online dates from 2009. And it was not needed to get the one Acer M5 machine
    working.
    After cycling through the items above, the one Acer M5 started listing the NAS occasionally under Network in File Manager. At first this only happened in like 1 in 20 reboots. But
    I started getting luckier. And after one round of closing down shares and reinstalling adapters, it started to work reliably. And has kept working ever since.
    I now have the second Acer M5 connecting via WiFi in about one in five reboots. But this is not satisfactory. Normally, the NAS only shows under Network on File Manger, and only allows
    drives to be mapped, when the laptop is connected via Ethernet. I tried comparing adapter settings between when using Ethernet and using WiFi (for example, that the same Microsoft LLDP protocols are ticked). I also put both Acer M5s side by side to compare
    settings. I also tried repairing Windows 8 and reloading all Windows updates. But I have not thus far gone all the way back to a complete Windows 8 restore to factory conditions.
    Advice, help please, thanks.
    Wait for Win-8.1?

  • NAS Drives to Stream iTunes Media to TV?

    Can I access NAS drive media with Apple tv / i.e. stream photos or videos to my TV without having the iMac on?

  • WD My Book NAS drive, Cisco VPN router and FTP access

    Hello:
    I have a Western Digital My Book World Editon II NAS drive that is connected through a Cisco ASA 5500 VPN router.
    This NAS drive has a service to use it as an FTP server using port 21 as default or other specific port.
    I also have a XP PC in which I installed Filezilla where I am trying to access the NAS files.
    Only problem is that Filezilla apparently connects to the NAS drive but it lists the directory as empty.Changing to Active mode makes no difference.
    Does this sounds like a problem with the VPN configuration?
    Do I have to configure some kind of port forwarding on the VPN router for port 21?
    Or does the VPN router has nothing to do with this problem?
    Thanks for your help

    Would you "Solve" this question please ?

  • VPN and Exchange server blocks internet access

    i had some difficulty configuring Entourage to connect to an Exchange server after establishing a VPN. When the VPN was up, but the Entourage was not working, I could use Safari or any other web access without problems. After getting the Entourage account running, it was populating the folders for what seemed like hours, so i wanted to do other things while waiting. Safari and AOL would not connect. Apparently Microsoft has figured out another way to mess with you on a Mac. Anyone had this problem?

    It turns out that it's the VPN that is blocking web access. The first time I configured it a couple of months ago, it connected, and I could do whatever I wanted. When I tried to use the VPN the other day, all my settings had been erased for some reason and I had to reconfigure. It connected, I got into Entourage, used it, but when I tried to go to a web site Safari wouldn't connect. I closed Entourage, no dice. Today I connected without going into Entourage and Safari wouldn't connect. Without the VPN, Safari behaves itself. I have a PC upstairs with the same VPN and it allows use of your browser.
    I connected to a different VPN host and still no browser on the Mac. Can not figure out what has happened.

  • Lync Desktop sharing is not working via Remote Access Server / VPN

    Sometimes, few users using RAS (Remote Access Server) / VPN are not able to share desktop.
    It is irrespective of other user (from other end) is using VPN or Office wired network.
    Note - we have enabled VPN split tunnelling for our environment and the issue is happening after that only.
    Also, it is happening with few users not all.
    laptop is : HP elitebook 2570p
    any resolution ?

    Hi,
    Did these issued users also meet the issue internal the corporation?
    1.  Please double check if the split tunnel VPN setting configure correctly with the help of the link below:

    2.  As the issue only happen for a few users who using VPN, please try to delete Lync user profile and then test again.
    3. Please also try to change another computer with the issued Lync account using VPN to test the issue.
    4. Please also try to test the issue with Internet network instead of VPN to test the issue again.

  • Using VPN to access remote servers; copying files to desktop since "upgrading" to Mavericks no longer works. Can anyone help please?

    Hi everyone,
    I work remotely using Cisco AnyConnect (company provided) to access the company servers. Until "upgrading" to Mavericks I was able to copy files directly to my desktop – from either the servers themselves, from within Bridge, and/or by using the finder - you get the idea. Now I can only copy the files by opening them while still on the server using the native app (in my case mainly InDesign/Photoshop/Illustrator files) and saving them to my desktop that way.
    I'm a designer, I use a lot of files for my specific job every day and these files are often pretty large and doing it this way is time-consuming and really frustrating seeing as I had no such issues with the previous OS. It's not a total nightmare (yet) like some of things some of you are dealing with but I've spent more time restarting, freezing and trying to fix issues than I have actually using my darned machine. I have no choice but to access my work this way; I'm part of a much larger team and we all work on these files off and on during the day so I'm constantly needing to copy files and make sure I'm working on the most current version. Working off the server isn't an option as the speed decreases considerably... making the slightest task cringingly slow. As in 25 minutes for a PDF to be created slow.
    I've been used to my system running smoothly, without issues and fast so this upgrade is turning into a bit of a nightmare. Before I throw in the towel and try and downgrade, does anyone have any ideas? My technical knowledge where these things are concerned isn't beginner but I'm no expert  and I'm stumped. I just don't know where to start and I'm afraid of screwing something else up during the process of trying to fix this (so far) one issue and creating a snowball effect.
    I'm using a 27" iMac (late model 2012 purchased in March 2013) with a second Viewsonic monitor attached. I have a Cintiq 22HD hooked up (but not on all the time) and a Wacom tablet in use. I currently use both CS5 (work hasn't upgraded to CC yet) and Adobe CC (for personal use) on my system.
    Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    By default, the Remote Desktop (RD) Gateway component that encapsulates RDP in HTTPS packets listens on port 443 (for TCP) and port 3391 (for UDP). After you changed the ports in Transport Settings tab, please make sure that you have opened the custom ports
    you selected in Windows Firewall.
    In addition, since you have mentioned the registry key, would you please share the entire path?
    It seems that you need to manually update the gateway in the RDP file with the port. Have you created an .rdp file? You can also refer to the link below:
    Create an .rdp file
    Best regards,
