How to access your NAS drive remotely

Network-Attached Storage (NAS) devices offer a flexible way to store and share large data amounts across multiple users and devices within a secure local network; however, accessing NAS remotely presents security challenges. Traditional methods like opening a TCP/IP connection or using a VPN have drawbacks, such as security vulnerabilities or complex setups. Tailscale provides an innovative solution by combining the security of a VPN with a user-friendly, zero-configuration setup, allowing encrypted remote access to NAS devices. Tailscale's approach ensures that users can maintain data custody and enjoy secure, high-performance access without the complexities and costs associated with traditional VPNs, making it suitable for remote workers, business travelers, and others needing flexible and secure data access.
