Hey,

Anyone know if there is a program I can use to turn on my homeserver from my Windows 10 PC? I can do it from my Router app and sometimes from a standalone iOS app but I don't know how to get that done from Windows 10.

Is there a easy program to do this?

Thank you!

 

Hi all,

I stumbled on Asus Router's VPN fusion functionality. I have a NAS mini computer that I store files, watch movies, etc.

When I enabled the VPN fusion service through my VPN provider (nord), I noticed that I was still able to connect to my NAS (Running CasaOS, Jellyfin, etc.). When I checked my ip address going to the internet on the NAS through docker container chromium, it showed that it was indeed going through the VPN (different IP address).

So here are my questions:

  1. I am assuming VPN fusion routes all my traffic through the VPN (in this case through Nord). Correct?
  2. I am assuming since all my clients are covered by this VPN, the router is able to let me access local devices that are on my network even though all the devices are connected via VPN? Is this safe?
  3. Would there be any security concerns with having my NAS computer be funneled/tunneled through the VPN fusion and Nord? As in I keep it enabled and make it force all traffic from my NAS IP address to go through VPN Fusion. Also, if this is enabled, will I still be able to access the NAS through my local network so I can get on to CasaOS?

Thank you!

I’ve been tracking multiple deals on this page.

Hot ones are the WD Red hard drive for $335 - 22 TB storage. They have 10 TB NAS grade hard drive.

Costco has a 14 TB Seagate for $150.

The mini PC with N10 is also on sale for about $109. 8 GB RAM, 256 SSD, and has a USB-C port.
