In addition to buying branded NAS, friends who like to "tinker" will also choose DIY. In terms of software, "Black Synology" may be one of the most familiar solutions. However, since it is an unofficial method, the installation process is inevitably a bit troublesome, and there may be compatibility issues. In addition to this, is there no other way to choose? In fact, the open source and free FreeNAS plus Dandelion remote networking is one of them! What is FreeNAS? FreeNAS is an operating system developed based on FreeBSD, specially designed and optimized for network storage. http://www.anywlan.com/forum.php?mod=attachment&aid=NzIyODY1fDg0YzI1NDAzfDE1MzQ5NTc1MTZ8MTI3NDcwMnw0MzQ3NTQ%3D&noupdate=yes In other words, as long as FreeNAS is installed on any ordinary computer, it can be transformed into a professional storage server (NAS). More importantly, the FreeNAS installation process is quite simple and easy to use~ How to install, DIY NAS? Download the ISO image from the FreeNAS official website, use software such as Win32 Disk Imager, and make it into a bootable USB drive for installation. http://www.anywlan.com/forum.php?mod=attachment&aid=NzIyODY2fGJmYjkzYjhlfDE1MzQ5NTc1MTZ8MTI3NDcwMnw0MzQ3NTQ%3D&noupdate=yes Connect the installation USB drive to any computer, and you can start the installation process. Follow the prompts to complete it in a few steps. After completion, the following address of the Web management interface will be displayed. You can access the website and make various settings by opening a web browser on a PC in the same LAN and entering this address. It is worth mentioning that FreeNAS supports various file sharing and transfer protocols, and also supports online installation of third-party plug-ins. It can realize pt/bt download (transmission), private cloud disk (owncloud), synchronous backup (btsync) and other functions. How to achieve remote access? However, there is still a problem to be solved. How can we achieve remote access without a public IP? Faced with such a problem, we can use the Dandelion router bypass mode to build a network. Just connect the Dandelion router to the existing LAN without replacing or modifying the existing router! Next, let's take the Dandelion X1 with the software client as an example: First, connect the Dandelion router to the same LAN and complete the Internet settings. Then, enter the cloud management, you can add network members and enable bypass mode. Step 1. Add network members http://www.anywlan.com/forum.php?mod=attachment&aid=NzIyODc1fGUxNjQ2YTkxfDE1MzQ5NTc1MTZ8MTI3NDcwMnw0MzQ3NTQ%3D&noupdate=yes Step 2.
