I had success using Zero Tier as VPN to transfer files to and from NAS outside of your local network. Works perfectly and I use it in current productions
Easy to install and configure.
Hope this helps

Hi
Just wondering: I assume this setup uses SMB 2.0. I have a drive connected to my broadband modem & it has limited access as it only runs SMB1.0

Hi @Brian94175,
OMV lets you select the Minimum SMB version under the Advance Settings of the SMB/CIFS Settings.
You can set the minimum version from SMB1 through to SMB3.
Hi Aaron
Thanks for the info.

I’m trying to set up a Raspberry Pi NAS by following your guide. I’ve been through the set up process three times now and every time I get to the part where I change the hostname, the Pi/NAS disappears from the Network. That is, I type in the new hostname, click save, then apply, then I get the spinning wheel for a moment followed by an error message. The Pi is no longer accessible via the IP address used previously, and does not appear as a connected device on my local network. No amount of restarting the Pi and/or my router fixes this. I could go through the entire set up again (from flashing the SD card) and leave the hostname as default I suppose, but I’d prefer to set my own hostname. Any thoughts on why this is happening or how to fix it?
Hi @Paul274815, Welcome to the Forums!!!
Sorry to hear you’re having issues. would you be able to share a screenshot of the error you are receiving? It might help to narrow down the issue.
If you have access to your home network’s router, have a look in there to see if you can see the MAC Address or IP of the Pi in the connected devices to see if the Pi is on the network but the interface page might not be available.
Hi Aaron
Thanks for responding. The Pi does not appear in the list of connected devices on my router and therein lies the issue I think. After changing the hostname, the original IP address is dropped and no new IP address is ever assigned.
This is the error message I get:
Possible not all that helpful?
Pressing the left mouse button results in a spinning wheel image for a few seconds and then the error message returns. That is, pressing the left mouse button achieves nothing.
