    It's arguably better to have a separate and dedicated device for VPN termination. Best practice would actually have the VPN terminating at your perimeter. Can you run Wireguard on your firewall?

     

    hmm i dont know its not something ive thought about, this is all fairly new to me, ive got a couple of raspberry pi's knocking about not doing anything and thought id try the pi  gateway if its not going to be too hard to set up.

    I have a similar setup as described by @flyride. Pfsense is directly connected to my ISP's modem and I have OpenVPN set up on it. I also have the OpenVPN setup on the XPEnology in-case for some reason I cannot access Pfsense's OpenVPN but if that happens it usually means the ISP is down or a power outage anyway.

     

    do you have pfsense set up on a raspberry pi gadreel?

    i went through Polanskiman excellent tutorial and everything worked first time, thank you for that

     

    after logging out i couldnt log in again, i was trying for ages with http://[yourdomain].duckdns.org:5000 or 5001

    and https://[yourdomain].duckdns.org:5000 or 5001, ive opend my ports from 5000 to 5001, as in the tutorial

     

    i uninstalled and reinstalled DS file from my mobile but that didnt do anything

     

    i eventually tried [yourdomain].duckdns.org  with no http:// or https:// and no port number at the end

    it signs in straight away, if i go back and sign in as https://[yourdomain].duckdns.org:5000 or 5001 it wont sign in

    Change mac1=0011322CA785 to mac1=[your NIC MAC address #1]. is that the mac of my pc or of the NAS?

     

    also the USB with the loader i assume i remove this once its setup it dosent need to be left in the NAS?

     Hello all

    ive retrieved my old n40l from the loft where its sat for about 5 years, i lost my mobile about 6 months ago with nearly 2 years of pics not backed up on it!

    so determined to get my n40l up and running as a nas, where best to start? ive read on here while just looking for info that i might or might not need to up date my NIC?

     

    my N40l is fairly stock, i changed/ added the sound card a few years back to give me s/pdif, and i will be ordering a couple of seagate ironwolf 4tb hdds probably tomorrow

    i would like the latest stable version of xpenology.

     

    are there any upgrades to the n40l that are regarded as must haves or highly suggestible or is the stock good enough

     

    thanks
