Ok. Yes, my use case is a private document and media store. I'm ungoogling.
VPN seems like a good place to start. But I'd like a simple answer, and I expect there are none to be had. As you've illustrated here, I'll find a reason to punch holes in the firewall. And then I'm going to need to secure a web server. Life happens. I'll keep it simple for now while I sort things. Thanks for your perspective.
