Our new NAS has a web admin that isn't WAN accessible. Is there a way to access it through our WAN-accessible staging server, which is on the same lan as the NAS? Could I mount the NAS web root as a virtual host on the other server? ---- "Ninety percent of Americans use the Internet. The other ten percent use the banjo."

You're looking for a "Reverse Proxy" - almost certainly doable :) Dan Herman

I can think of a few reasons why it wouldn't work. It accesses services on the host is number 1. Maybe a vnc -type solution could work, dunno if the NAS supports it though. ---- "Ninety percent of Americans use the Internet. The other ten percent use the banjo."

Cool. I'll check it out. ---- "Ninety percent of Americans use the Internet. The other ten percent use the banjo."

An SSH Socks proxy would work as well. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

Possibly even better. ---- "Ninety percent of Americans use the Internet. The other ten percent use the banjo."

That's usually how I access browser based stuff on my local network from outside. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

Looks a good deal more secure, but I guess I need to get a port opened for it. ---- "Ninety percent of Americans use the Internet. The other ten percent use the banjo."

Yeah, obscure port, maybe some security through obscurity with a relatively complex password (or shared ssh key). If it's a Linux system that has other user accounts it's possible to restrict logins on those accounts to certain IP ranges (LAN IP range). Leaving only your "secure" account for outside access. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘
