Total noob, but I set up TrueNAS/Nextcloud on an old laptop and it’s working great locally.
What would be the easiest secure way to access my files remotely from my phone and/or laptop?
Vpn.
Openvpn or wireguard.
Would something like Pivpn on your server

TrueNAS has an OpenVPN plugin available, which is typically the recommended option.
If you are using Scale, it has been depreciated. Rather inconvenient for me as I have to come up with a new solution.
Yea, I didn’t like that they are going to drop support in the next version or whatever. Not sure if it’s their intended replacement, but Wireguard is installed by default in TrueNAS Bluefin. I recently switched to that, and I find the performance is way better than OpenVPN.
Your nextcloud isn’t public facing?
I don’t think so? It’s whatever the default is aha I am new to networking like this
Out of curiosity what are you using nextcloud for? Most people use it for public facing collab and sharing, and it’s an absolute beast to maintain because it’s so complicated.
I’ve been running it for years with very little maintenance… What about it is a “beast?”
