Hi, I have a question about Samba/NAT/WAN environment. Here is the network. Samba server ------ Internet ------- NAT'd router ------ Windows PC * Can Windows PC map the Samba server as a network drive even if it resides behind NAT? I heard Samba is a bandwidth hog and it is insecure to open to the Internet. * Is there any secure way to use Samba through the Internet without using VPN? * Is Samba inefficient in WAN connection? Then, could you explain why? Thanks in advance.
