UniFi UNAS Pro Review – A New Challenger Has Entered The Ring! UPDATE – The UniFi UNAS Pro NAS is now available and can be found HERE Clicks fingers and just like that, UniFi entered the network-attached storage space.

There are ways that you can get to your data while you are away from your local network by publishing the services over revers proxy for example. The "problem" there is that you have to harden those services as best as possible or limit access if you want to increase security. Also, you have to allow access to those resources on your router in order to be able to access them in the first place, and that means, you are not the only one that can do that.
