Second router for NAS?

[Bish8]

I share an internet connection (using a powerline) with a house mate and several others but i want to set up a NAS to access over the internet and wanted to know the most secure way i could do this?

I was thinking about setting up another router with vpn but im interested in know if there is anything else i should be doing or/what setup and equipment you guys would recommend for it.

VPN is the way to do it most certainly. What NAS do you have? Depending on what you have you may find it comes with the ability to run a VPN server on the unit itself and then all you’d need to do is configure it and port forward to it from your existing router.

In which case, while I have no personal experience, follow this guide. https://kb.synology.com/en-af/DSM/help/VPNCenter/vpn_setup?version=6

Use OpenVPN and not PPTP as it is more secure.

Setup OpenVPN on the Synology, adding another router will cause issues.
