[QUOTE="PerryLynch, post: 627733, member: 38563"] You really don't want to open up your home network to the world via those ports. That will allow nearly everyone to have access to things they shouldn't be able to see (just Google 'smb vulnerabilities' - not all of them are windows-based). As you're running SMB, I'm assuming you've got either a windows or linux-based file server? If so, have you tried OpenVPN? Or for an easier-to-deploy solution, SSL Explorer (which also has an OS-X version)? Running a VPN application like either of these will allow you to limit access to your files to the people that YOU choose. Not whomever chooses to look at your IP range. Good luck, Perry [/QUOTE]
