Remote Access to qBitTorrent WebUI on ReadyNAS102

But the best is that it runs on the NAS 24/7 at relatively low energy consumption (about 35W).

Setting up Dynamic DNS

First of all, I established an automatic update of the (dynamic) IP provided by my ISP in the DNS using NoIP . My Router already provides automatic update for services like DynDNS, NoIP and Comexe.

Securing the connection

My client is protected with a password, but using only HTTP is truly no protection, as the credentials are transferred in clear text. I need to secure my connection. The qBittorrent client already offers the option for encrypted connection via HTTPS, but I need to provide a key and certificate.

Re: Remote access and VPN

If the VPN client on the router still connects to a remote VPN server, the router still wouldn't need to be port-forwarded. You might need to configure some sort of bridge (rules?) on the router though to get that to work. VPNs can't be very CPU intensive, and routers tend to have terribly weak CPUs in them, so only try router VPN client as an experiment..

If you want to access some service located in your home network from places outside of it, you have to setup in your router a "port mapping" or "virtual servers" etc. Please look at your router manual for further information. Or ask your question on basic networking setup related forums, because your question is not related to QBittorrent directly.
