Total noob, but I set up TrueNAS/Nextcloud on an old laptop and it’s working great locally.

What would be the easiest secure way to access my files remotely from my phone and/or laptop?

    My recommendation would be some kind of VPN. If your looking for something plug and play and free, look into zerotier.

    If your home internet connection sits behind CGNAT, like me, just buy a cheap vps and set up your own wireguard network.

    Both solutions avoid exposing your services directly to the public internet which reduces attack vectors and adds an extra layer of encryption.

      Idk what CGNAT is tbh so I doubt it.

      Other comment mentioned OpenVPN, would you say Zerotier is an easier option?
