Topic: network access storage device (nas)

I've installed kamikaze-2.4 7.09 on my new asus 500 premium. How do i make my nas visible on the wan side. I guess i have to make some sort off port forwarding but i dont know how. Any help around.

I slowly forwarding the problem.

In /etc/firewall.user i opened port 80 to the wan by adding:

iptables -t nat -A prerouting_wan -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.xx.xxx:$
iptables        -A forwarding_wan -p tcp --dport 80 -d 192.168.xx.xxx -j ACCEPT

This gived me access to the webif so i changed its standard www port 80 to port 81 in /etc/init.d/httpd.conf.

Now i need openwrt to forward web requests to my nas-box on the lan side.

Wouldn't a VPN be more secure?

The discussion might have continued from here.
