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?

EDIT: I needed to advertise 10.0.0.0/24 NOT 10.0.0.26/24 lol

    For restricted access, I add a Cloudflare Application in front of the Tunnel to provide authentication. Work’s like a charm, and the user never hits my services unless they successfully authenticate.

      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.
