I would like to access the NAS from a second home via the Internet with Win10. From what I’ve read, the two networks don’t have the same IP range, so I’m going to change the second home’s from 192.168.1.1 to another one. But that probably won’t be the final solution. I also heard rumors that I have to enter the IP of the IB 3 somewhere in the VPN settings, but I haven’t found anything where I could do that.
Hi @Mogwai72
From what I’ve read, the two networks don’t have the same IP range, so I’m going to change the second home’s from 192.168.1.1 to another one.
This is correct (otherwise your PC does not know whether the data has to go through the tunnel or not).
I also heard rumors that I have to enter the IP of the IB 3 somewhere in the VPN settings, but I haven’t found anything where I could do that.
It’s best to follow this instructions. You must perform these steps on the Internet box at your main location. Regarding IP: The easiest way is to use DynDNS activate - then you don’t always have to enter the current IP on the client.

@Mogwai72 here are the settings for changing the IP address for your router:

Hi,
How exactly do you connect to the NAS? Can you reach the web interface via the fixed IP? (http://192.168.1.xx:5000) Does the fixed IP respond to pings?

If you rely entirely on a VPN connection and it works, it is completely unnecessary to open additional ports on the Internet box and thus unnecessarily drill new, dangerous holes in the firewall of your Internet box.
Actually, I always think that having already suffered damage makes you smart, but despite having probably been hacked before, that doesn’t seem to be the case for you.
Everything you want to do with your network is already in operation with me and in the most secure way possible, and as long as you only use the VPN server on the Internet box, you really don’t need a single open port on the Internet box to access all resources in your home network remotely via the Internet box’s VPN connection.

Hi @Mogwai72,
Yes, test access to the NAS with your cell phone and from the second location. I’ve just activated port forwarding on the IB3 (5000, 5001, 21, 80, should be enough, right?) but it still doesn’t work…
As Werner mentioned, you don’t have to do any port forwarding for access via VPN. In the VPN it should behave similarly to when you access the NAS directly from within.
Port forwarding is nothing other than your Internet box forwarding the ports you specify to the NAS on its public IP address.
A trace route might be interesting here to see where your traffic is coming from.
