Hey guys! So I have a simple dilemma. The computer i use for video/movies is on a vpn. Sometimes I want to move those videos to my nas.
Now I am just using the mulvad program on the local pc (linux). I dont have it installed on my router (and im not sure if I will yet, since with slowdowns and some sites and applications not working on a VPN, I dont really need it network wide at this point)
But my problem is, my nas isn’t accessible from the pc, unless I shut off the VPN, which I dont want to do when in the middle of a big download. Also, it would be nice sometimes to download right to my nas so I dont need to move files.
Is there a somewhat easy solution? Im decently savvy but networking still confuses me sometimes.
Depending on which VPN you’re using, you might be able to put the NAS on the VPN too. If for example you use Nord, they have a feature called Meshnet that gives each computer a unique hostname that you can access via the VPN.
Update: Meshnet is going away in December. Fuck. I need to find an alternative.
