Hey guys, I set up a Windows Samba server on my Wi-Fi router using a USB HDD. My goal is to share files outside my home with another network. I have router port forwarding, an IP address without a static assignment, and dynamic DNS. What steps can I take to reach those files from a different location? Thanks, Adit

Use a VPN at all times. SMB isn't protected well enough to be shared openly... however, creating a WireGuard VPN would fix the issue and is fairly straightforward with many available resources.
