Best way to remotely access TrueNAS/Nextcloud remotely? - eviltoast

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?

    Yes I do that too with email authentication. But if he is using a personal server with no users then there is no need for that.

      True, but then Tailscale needs to be installed on the remote device to connect. A Cloudflare Tunnel and Application can be accessed by pretty much any device. This was more appropriate for my use case. YMMV, of course.

        For me it’s all about use case.

        I use cloudflare tunnels for programs exposed to the open web (Nextcloud, Radicale, etc).

        But I use tailscale for anything not, then I use tailscale (RD client, KDE Connect, Sonarr, etc) because it’s way too simple.
