![]() I also thought about a VPN but I found it a bit confusing/complex to set up. Then I have plugged a 2.5 HARDDISK to the USB3 AC68U router's port where I have my data (projects' files). I, however, activated Cloud Disk at the section Aicloud 2.0 and got an Asus DDNS (I know, I know!.) so I could access my data from wherever I need to.Disabled WPS, remote WAN access, and so on, as recommended in the forum. I bought an ASUS RT-AC68U, which although a bit old now, it seems to be a decent piece of hardware for a reasonable price.Most recently, I've come up with a compromise which I believe offers a much better protection and peace of mind for me and which is easy to setup so I thought about sharing it with other newbies here which, like me, might not be as proficient in IT as some other folks in the forum. On top of this, I used to have a shi**y Comtrend router provided as standard by a big telecom to its customers so no AiProtection tools (as in ASUS routers) or anything of that sort. This basically resorted to Window's "security" (alas!) to protect it from intruders. Then I started to leave my computer on all the time -which I don't like to do, for many reasons- so I could access it remotely. Problem was that, as time passed, I often forgot to take it with me when leaving home -sounds familiar? In order to have my files available when I am at a client's office, at first I used to have a portable hard disk which was connected to the computer with the software SecondCopy syncing my PC's folders with this disk. I am a consultant and I have my office at home. I am a Windows user, sorry -not knowledgeable for Linux and the like. I just managed to successfully install Merlin's firmware (june 2018) to my AC68U and now the FTP feature works flawlessly. *** WARNING: This is a post aimed to newbies like me! ***
