 The scope here concerns use of VPN (Virtual Private Network) to gain secure access from the public network to a local private network.  It relates to private secure access and use from the public network.  It does not consider public VPNs setup for public use. The scope here concerns use of VPN (Virtual Private Network) to gain secure access from the public network to a local private network.  It relates to private secure access and use from the public network.  It does not consider public VPNs setup for public use.
  
 +There have been considered 3 different levels of access as described by the applications used:
 +  * Nextcloud - a full privately hosted publicly accessible file shareing application, with many additional features
 +  * Privatebin - An encrypted file publicly accessible file sharing server
 +  * Syncthing - A files synchronising system
 +  * Wireguard - A VPN server
 +
 +These applications and their scope are described further below.
 +
 +=====Nextcloud=====
 +Nextcloud is an open source content collaboration platform.  At its core is file-sharing, but it has many other core functions as well as extensibility with additional installed applications.  While Nextcloud can securely share files it is not focused as a **simple**, public, and secure file-sharing platform.
 +
 +I have been using Nextcloud and before that Owncloud from which Nextcloud was forked since circa 2013.  My server setup is described here:
 +  *kptree  [[https://wiki.kptree.net/doku.php?id=docker_notes:docker-nextcloud|nextcloud]] is Docker based setup, that I currently use, since 2022.
 +  *kptree [[https://wiki.kptree.net/doku.php?id=home_server:web_server_setup#nextcloud_setup|nextcloud]] is a VM setup previously I used.

 +
 +=====Wireguard=====
 +I previously successfully setup [[https://wiki.kptree.net/doku.php?id=linux_router:wireguard|wireguard]] on my router.  This was installed on "bare metal" as was the nftable based router firewall. I later installed Bind9 DNS and Kea DHCP programs in Docker containers.  I always run Docker in a VM to prevent Docker's packet filtering from affecting the bare metal firewall rules.  I did not move Wireguard to a Docker container as I did not have the need at the time.
