TrueNas Scale remote replica

Hello Tom and team, i am new at network home lab but learned everything i know from Tom’s videos and everything in my lab is rock solid as far as i know. (i hope you don’t prove me wrong)

i am sure my permissions and firewall rules are right (i hope you don’t prove me wrong)

I need help with TrueNas Scale remote replica from my home to my friends house and from his house to my lab. i am trying to find an eloquent and simple solution but fail to make it work, i don’t know how to setup the pointing of the replication to his Nas and vice versa.

what would be best, as i keep hearing that wireguard, tailscale, openvpn are good solution but nowhere can i find a step by step that works.

the goal is

  1. i want to give him only access to his pool and nothing else on my system !
  2. i want only access to my pool and nothing else on his system !

my home

  • pfsense CE 2.8.0 home made appliance with Wire Guard installed and working
  1. 10.11.10.0/24 subnet home lab
  2. 10.20.20.0/24 port 51820 wireguard for all my devices remote access (working great)
  3. 10.30.30.0/24 port 51821 wireguard for truenas remote access
  • Truenas scale 25.4.2.1 home made appliance
  1. 10.11.10.20
  2. segregated hhd and pool for my friend’s Nas for backup replica

My friend’s home

  1. Unifi dream machine pro

  2. 192.168.1.0/24 subnet home lab

  • Truenas scale 25.4.2.1 home made appliance (identical as mine)
  1. 192.168.1.20
  2. segregated hhd and pool for my friend’s Nas for backup replica

Please give me you thoughts or talk Tom and his team into coming up with a video that would close the gap for TrueNas replication, permition, rules and best prartices for 3,2,1 and file security

Encrypt the datasets or the entire pool. This way even though they are replicated on systems outside your control, they won’t have access to the data within.

Without encryption since they have root access to their NAS they can get access to your datasets. The reverse also holds true with your NAS.
