Hi,

I’m playing around with a VPS and have successfully connected a NFS share of my local NAS via OpenVPN. At Home I don’t have a connection with a static IP address so once per night the the VPN needs to reconnect, this take about 2 minutes. Is it possible to buffer the NFS mount, so it doesn’t produce any read / write errors? I read about NFS caching, but I think this is only meant for periods way smaller than a Minute. Does any one of you got experience with such a setup?

    I highly advice against nfs mounts between a vps and home network, even with a static ip and over a vpn.

    When you need data that’s on the nas at home on the vps, it’s best to place a copy of that data on the vps local storage. It can act as a backup as well and the original data can be kept safely at home.

    What are you trying to do with this setup? Maybe we can find another solution for you.
