I am trying to implement rsync backups between 2 NASes I own over the WAN however I am worried about compromising my security by doing so without a VPN or SSH in place (which I do not have currently).
One solution I was thinking of (which admittedly does not protect data in transit but should protect against intrusion at router level) would be to rsync over an obscure port and to only allow incoming connections to that obscure port if those connections originated from a certain domain.
I have been investigating to see if any consumer-grade (i.e. US$250 or less) routers provide this limitation (i.e. only allowing incoming packets on a defined port if those packets originate from a pre-set domain)...
Anyone have any ideas if this is possible? Any products out there that do this?
thanks in advance!
