I really need to know the best and easiest way to set up remote access to my Jupiter Mini. Can anyone help?
No clue. Why are you asking here, rather than on their support channels?
Didn’t know I was on wrong forum.
This is the TrueNAS forum. Nothing in your post mentioned TrueNAS, and it’s kind of buried in the Jupiter’s product page (OWC Jupiter), so it’s far from obvious to someone who isn’t familiar with that product (which I’d wager is most of us) that it’s running any version of TrueNAS.[1] And even this on their website:
…isn’t especially helpful. I’d still say OWC’s support would be a better channel for you to ask–they charge enough for the system; they can surely afford to support it–but the short answer is likely to be “Tailscale.”
And I’d think iX might have a thing or two to say about another company marketing their systems as designed-for-TrueNAS servers, but that’s their problem, not mine. ↩︎

it is a TruNAS Scale on Jupiter Mini.
@macsavvyinc Don’t miss this part of Dan’s response. Tailscale is usually the way to go for secure remote access.
I dont’ care about it being secure. Nothing i won’t miss if it gets violated. I just want it to be accessible. firewall on router is disabled.
Even leaving security aside (and frankly that’s a foolish thing to do–there’s nothing on your network you care about?), Tailscale’s the easiest way to do this.
I shouldn’t have to use a 3rd party app to get remote access to a NAS. I have 4 true static IPs for my router. I should easily be able to setup up a port forward to the LAN IP of the NAS thru the gateway WAN static IP
like I said, there is nothing private or sensitive that an be lost. All of it is mirrored to somewhere else.
I’m frankly not interested in your opinion of what you “should” have to do. I’ve given you what IMO is the best way to do this, but feel free to forward whatever ports you like and compromise your network security if you like.
wow. nice. Look, i would try your recommended app but for business it’s not effective. You have to pay for that service and you also have to pay for nextcloud in order to get it on more than 3 devices.
If you are looking for free alternatives, they usually are harder to set up. Or make it so insecure that not just your data is at risk but everything that is on the same network is at risk.
If you are willing to put in some work you could just setup a VPN and have users connect via that. That is pretty common even in business settings. Wireguard is a good place to start looking.
You could also try cloudflare tunnels. That should be easier and probably will do what you want, but I have no idea if they start to charge for businesses or not. I think it is free, but I haven’t used it so I don’t know.
You could also port forward like was mentioned above, but this is really not recommended due to it being so insecure.
