Hey all!

The other day I set up a network drive to store all my ISOs. My question is, if I download something from my personal PC, straight to the network drive, does the network drive need to have a VPN running?

If I’m downloading to the network drive, does my PC download it and then transfer to the network drive? Or does the network drive just download it directly.

I’m sure this is a very dumb question, but thanks for any insight!

    If you’re downloading it from your PC, then it is your PC that needs the VPN.

    If you’re saving the item directly to the networked drive, it is still your PC that is downloading it, it’s just being placed on a networked drive.
