I’m pretty new to selfhosting and homelabs, and I would appreciate a simple-worded explanation here. Details are always welcome!

So, I have a home network with a dynamic external IP address. I already have my Synology NAS exposed to the Internet with DDNS - this was done using the interface, so didn’t require much technical knowledge.

Now, I would like to add another server (currently testing with Raspberry Pi) in the same LAN that would also be externally reachable, either through a subdomain (preferable), or through specific ports. How do I go about it?

P.S. Apparently, what I’ve tried on the router does work, it’s just that my NAS was sitting in the DMZ. Now it works!

    Just me and the people I trust, but there are certain inconveniences around using VPN for access.

    First, I live in the jurisdiction that is heavily restrictive, so VPN is commonly in use to bypass censorship

    Second, I sometimes access my data from computers I trust but can’t install VPN clients on

    Third, I share my NAS resources with my family, and getting my mom to use a VPN every time she syncs her photos is near impossible

    So, fully recognizing the risks, I feel like I have to expose a lot of my services.
