Hello
My idea is to be able to access the samba shares in my home local network when I am not home. Say, access them from my computer at work or from my laptop when I am not at home. Therefore, I have a couple of questions (my apologies in advance if some of them are absurd. I handle myself relatively good with computers, but when it comes to networking I am a caveman):
1. For what I've read, this can be accomplished using OwnCloud. Then, I would access my shares thru the OwnCloud website/app, isn't it?
2.I found also that it can't be done using OpenVPN. OpenVPN allows me to tunnel my connection from wherever I am to my house (where my OMV PC sits) and from there out to the internet; meaning that I may be able to access my OMV Web GUI with all its plug-ins but not my home network. Am I right?
3. According the OpenVPNas description in the stable plugins section, it states that "(OpenVPNas) supports a wide range of configurations, including secure and granular remote access to internal network and/ or private cloud network resources". Does it mean that OpenVPNas offers the same bells and whistles from OpenVPN plus the possibility to access my network resources (aka network shares)?
Thanks in advance!
