PPPoE

Hi,

Please add support for PPPoE to connect direct to internet.

Best Regards,

Isn't it very risky to expose NAS directly to Internet through PPPoE? Personally I like to have a router in between as router is so cheap nowadays anyway.

for me it is NO problem....or maybe in the feature you make CSF package.

....and how can resolve Virtual Host to work from Apache if you have IP 192.168...... in DMZ ???

Regards,

forward all port 80 to nas and let it resolve virtual hosts, to be more flexible you could install a full linux server as router (what I did) and run firewall/routing/proxy etc on it. I use squid to forward virtual hosts to multiple servers based on name, probably more than I think should go on a nas.

NOT working with port forwarding or DMZ because the nas have private ip and configuration file from nas of virtual host is private.

If I install a full linux server.... why chose NAS ????

Regards,

I use NAS primarily as network attached storage, and linux server (slackware) as a general purpose server. For example www.ho66es.org, weather.ho66es.org and qnap.ho66es.org all live on my lan on my nas's behind a linux router running squid, www. weather. and asustor. are all virtual hosts on my asustor and qnap. is on my qnap nas. From memory the virtual hosts work fine with port forwarding and the squid proxy only became needed when i used multiple private ip's as servers for name based calls.

As to why you should use a linux server instead of a NAS, if you want to be able to install any linux application it is the only way to really go, the NAS is more restrictive by design. A linux server also allows you to 'easily' tweak settings for said applications. I like being able to use some nice apps on the NAS that interface with the storage aspects of it, but I wouldn't want asustor to break the primary aspect of it being a NAS by bolting too many 'goodies' on to it. You can install applications on the nas yourself if you compile them and install them by hand however.

This is my choice and obviously you see the role of a NAS differently to me, and maybe everyone else sees it differently to me too. I can live with that
