Siber Bane Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I would like to setup a Dropbox, Skydrive style storage system accessible to only me. I have watched the video on setting a VPN using Untangle, however when I try to use Untangle in a VirtualBox on Ubuntu it stops responding frequently and seems unusable. I am thinking the VPN would be good, but am not quite sure about the transfer of files from various devices to my private network. What would you suggest for creating a personal network storage system accessible from remote locations yet still as secure as it can be without compromising my internal network? Thank you for your time, Siber Bane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 VPN is by far the best way, but it can be a bit of config hell. You can try out BitTorrent Sync, http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicalconfusion Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) hm, ever consider encrypting the data using TrueCrypt, a 63char pswd will protect all your info. you won't have to shell out for a VPN either.

You can do vpn for free. However, as Mr-Protocol so eloquently stated, it can be config hell. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drei_Drachen Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 You host it yourself using, for example, OpenVPN or Freelan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
