Abstract: As the need for secure and effective data storage continues to grow, Network-Attached Storage (NAS) has emerged as an essential element for personal and business applications. This project aims to deploy a NAS system based on a virtual machine (VM) with OpenMediaVault (OMV) as the central storage management software. For added security, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is incorporated, providing secure remote access. Moreover, data encryption is used to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. This paper examines the design, implementation and security provisions of the proposed NAS system, showing its gains in terms of accessibility, scalability, and data integrity.
