    Fully disagree here. N100 have a specific purpose, and they do it well. Low power, and very capable for a fully loaded HA minipc. Even works great as a transcoding video server. It doesn’t have the CPU or memory bandwidth to handle more I/O intensive workloads, but if you already know that’s going to be a problem, you’d have something else. It’s just great for basic network services that aren’t under utilization 24/7. Perfect for home needs.

    Synology 2-bay gets you everything you want. You shouldn’t need a 4-bay unless you’re sure about your I/O or storage needs.

    For your other services, just get them a little minipc. Keep the NAS and compute separate. For the amount of money you’d spend on a 4-bay solution, you can have the above and still have money left over.









  • You’re just describing a dozen different things that fit this mold, so let me throw some out there and you can decide what does what you want:

    • SOCKS
    • STUN
    • Haproxy
    • Reverse Proxy

    These all do what you want if you’re taking the steps to automate pointing to them from whatever your destination endpoint might be. So then you’re basically NOT using a VPN, and only a proxy.

    Honestly, I’d just install OpenWRT on the Pi and try out different plugins to find what does what you want. You can honestly simplify this all by using Dynamic DNS in the first place to just have a predictable hostname.
