    I forgot to mention that i can ping my NAS and also access the GUI from my home LAN. I just can't connect to a share. In Samba i know it is possible to restrict clients to a single LAN. I assume this is the point here.

    My question is now: is there a way to configure this, so i get also access to my SMB shares from my home LAN?

    At least i was very confident on that, but you made me looking further into that and in fact it was NOT!

    A long-time-forgotten firewall rule preventing unwanted SMB traffic to leave my private network did what it was supposed to do. My pfSense has several rule-sets: one for LAN, one for WAN and one for IPSEC and IPSEC had only an allow-all rule, so i first thougt this was OK. But the forgotten rule in the LAN rule-set (of course without the "log matching packets" field beeing enabled) tricked me on that (silently)...

    *selfpatsch*

    Thank you for pointing me into the right direction, now i can access my NAS from my home LAN!

    Cheers
