Private beta
A quieter way to reach your home NAS.
DreamNAS gives self-hosted NAS and homelab users a regional access gateway for private web portals.

Data stays home
DreamNAS does not store user files.
Narrow scope
Gateway access, forwarding, checks, hostnames, and access path selection.
Common portals
Works with NAS dashboards, file portals, and homelab web services.
Problem
Remote NAS access should be predictable.
Many home NAS users rely on Cloudflare Tunnel, dynamic DNS, or an existing HTTPS endpoint. Access quality can change with ISP, time period, upstream availability, local network conditions, and region choice.
Approach
DreamNAS adds a regional gateway layer.
Your NAS stays under your control. DreamNAS provides regional gateways, HTTPS portal forwarding, health checks, hostname management, and access path selection.
How it works
A simple path from endpoint to browser.
Connect endpoint
Bring a Cloudflare Tunnel hostname, dynamic DNS with HTTPS, or an existing HTTPS NAS portal.
Choose region
Select Hong Kong, Japan, or United States during private beta.
Open portal
Use your DreamNAS hostname to reach the private NAS web interface.
Features
Focused capabilities for one practical scenario.
Regional gateways
Hong Kong, Japan, and United States entry options for comparison.
HTTPS forwarding
Forward browser access to your existing HTTPS endpoint without storing files.
Private hostnames
Use a DreamNAS hostname for each private NAS portal.
Health checks
Check whether DreamNAS can reach the upstream endpoint.
Tunnel friendly
Designed for users already running Cloudflare Tunnel.
Manual review
Small private beta onboarding to reduce abuse.
Access policy
Regional access policies for mainland users.
During private beta, DreamNAS can evaluate separate access policies for China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile, or use one unified regional policy when simplicity is preferred.
Telecom access
Evaluate a gateway and upstream path that performs consistently for Telecom users.
Unicom access
Compare regional gateways based on real reachability, latency trend, and failure rate.
Mobile access
Use regional entry points to reduce path uncertainty for Mobile users.
Unified policy
Use one shared regional policy when a single stable configuration is easier to operate.
Access quality may vary by carrier, time, upstream endpoint, and selected gateway. DreamNAS treats regional access as an operational policy, not a speed guarantee.
Regions
Choose by actual network quality.

For South China and nearby networks.

Security
DreamNAS is an access layer, not a storage layer.
Authentication, accounts, firmware, and exposed applications remain under your control.
- Files stay on your NAS.
- DreamNAS does not store user files.
- DreamNAS does not request NAS admin passwords.
- Use strong passwords and 2FA.
- Do not expose sensitive admin panels without authentication.
FAQ
A few things worth making clear.
Does DreamNAS store my files?
No. DreamNAS does not host, back up, or store user files.
Do I need a public IP?
The common private beta setup does not require a public IP. Users usually bring a Cloudflare Tunnel hostname or an HTTPS endpoint.
Which NAS systems are suitable?
DreamNAS is suitable for common NAS and homelab web portals. It is not an official vendor service.
Is one region always fastest?
No. Results vary by ISP, time, upstream endpoint, and region choice.
Private beta
Private beta access is reviewed manually.
The public console is intentionally limited while the service is being tested.
