With Quic SMB share connection from the "coffeeshop" , how does this connect through firewall ? or does this use reverse proxy or something ?

Firewall has to allow (by default) inbound 443 UDP to the file server.

yes that is the firewall for the server itself, but if this server is in my private datacenter, how does this connect with the outside world without a VPN on the client. I would need some external FQDN or IP adres and port mapping in edge firewall ?
- NedPyleMar 26, 2024Bronze ContributorYes, you'd need an FQDN the client can access and specified in the server certificate, and the file server reachable via port-forwarding/edge firewall/DMZ, etc.
- Karl-WEMar 26, 2024MVPhaven't tried it yet, can we use a public cert or a custom DNS Name, too, or does the cert have to contain the AD DNS FQDN? Just thinking loud if people would rather obfuscate the server DNS name. And a last bit, is there a support of SMB QUIC for targets using DFS Namespaces (DFS-N) and how to accomplish that, as usually the DFS-N servers are different from fileserver targets. TYVM.
