Connect NFS Share to Win. 10 Pro PC?

Is there a way to connect a Linux (Ubuntu) NFS Share to my Windows 10 PC? I tried SSHFS but it's too slow, if there are any other faster solutions (excluding FTP since I need it as a mounted drive) then please let me know!

    Since you mentioned Pro in the title, Windows 10 Pro has native NFS support

    Well, the higher the latency, the slower it will be and that significant.
    60-80ms can already affect it by a lot.

    I don't really need encryption since I am only giving it access to a host that I know.

    Can't find the feature in my list sadly.

    What list? The linked article doesn't have a list, it has a few PowerShell commands you need to execute to get the NFS Client feature enabled on W10 Pro.

    If that doesn't work you're either not running Pro or have a really really really old W10 Pro build.

    Just checked, I have Windows 10 Home, I guess it's not supported then?

    Yeah it's not supported on Home, thought you had Pro since you mentioned it in the title.

    Is running Samba on the server an option? Plays nice with Windows without extra software

    My ISP doesn't allow me to open Samba's port (445), I did try to change Samba's port but had no luck with that either sadly. Not sure if there is an alternative. My speeds are being capped to around 5-7 MBps, through Samba (since unencrypted) it would be at least 15-20 MBps.

    Wireguard the two hosts and just use 445

    Isn't the data still encrypted?

    So what? It's encrypted while going between the hosts but not at either end.

    Why would encryption be bad?

    Probably because scp/sshfs performance sucks shit but it is being misconstrued with type of encryption and method.. something like wireguard on top is much more performant than "per-file" transfers

    That only works with SSHFS not NFS

    Tried to set up Wireguard, can't connect to Samba Share however. I tried every IP that was listed (Public, Private, Wireguard etc). I have also set Samba's share to listen to 0.0.0.0

    Can confirm it works over OpenVPN however I can only achieve 10 mbps, hoping to get Wireguard set-up somehow to acheive 15-20 at least.
