Hello,
First of all, you should know that I am a newbie in networks. I succeeded in certain configurations, not without having to break my head but good.
My goal here is to try to successfully connect remotely with nPlayer app on my iPhone to all of the following devices:
1- Synology NAS - Access is done
2- WD Mycloud NAS - Access is done
3- Laptop - Unable to configure it properly
I have a Synology NAS and a WD Mycloud. I can access both of my devices remotely over the internet with the nplayer app without any problems. I use the nPlayer application on my iPhone with Webdav for my Synology NAS and SMB/CIFS for the WD Mycloud. (I opened ports and used port forwarding so everything worked).
I am now trying to configure my laptop and router so that I can connect and access my video files on my laptop remotely with the nPlayer app too, but I cannot. I don't know if I should use Webdav or SMB/CIFS or a FTP connection and how to configure all that.
I recently got an Asus GT-AX11000 router and read that everything could be easy to configure what I'm trying to do using my router's VPN. However, I just can't figure out how to do it.
Can someone help me?
