Comment on CGNAT blocking external access to NAS. Looking to address this plus more.

Just a few thoughts:
- don’t cheap out. Building your whole stack on top of free or ultra budget providers is going to backfire eventually
- check the traffic limits if you want to stream 4k content from your NAS
- if latency and bandwidth is a concern, you need to select a VPS provider with good peering. This fully depends on your ISP.
- i’d recommend setting things up with split DNS. Your DNS server would answer with local IPs for queries from within your LAN and with the IP of the VPS for external queries.
- take a look at AdGuard Home
- you can skip fail2ban if you go straight for ssh keys
- 100% wireguard

For the VPS I chose, the bandwidth limit is 2tb. That’s definitely more than enough! Unless there’s another way they can limit traffic aside from that.
Can you explain that further? Where in the chain would I put this? I’m guessing basically every device I’d want to communicate with the VPS would need an ssh key right? And I could set it up so only particular requests require ssh keys, in case I wanted my homepage to be accessible by anyone?
Thanks for the advice btw!

You can skip fail2ban for SSH. I missed the important bit. Duh…
Never used Plex but had a good experience with Jellyfin.

What’s your setup for this? Can you give me basic bandwidth you use and charges?

Jellyfin is completely free. I only used it shortly in my LAN environment so I can’t give you any numbers. It should roughly be in the same ballpark as plex though.
