Hello there,

Do you provide NFS service which can be mounted directly (without a proxy server), i.e NFS-As-A-Service?

Hello,

You can follow this article in order to setup NFS mount:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-nfs-mount-on-ubuntu-18-04

Alternative is using sshfs: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-sshfs-to-mount-remote-file-systems-over-ssh

If performance is an issue, consider SSHFS. It’s slightly slower than unencrypted NFS traffic, but usually much faster than tunnelled NFS.
