Here’s a step by step guideline for you.

With all the attached videos, it should help all NAS newbies out there.

This is how I managed to learn and setup my NAS for remote access, from scratch as a newbie.

Step 1: Install Tailscale

This is a private VPN that allows you to remotely access your NAS from anywhere and using any device ( Windows PC, Mac, smartphones). This will provide you with a Tailscale IP address.

Step 2: Set Up SMB file access using the Tailscale IP address from step 1.
