I want to connect to my home server from work using NFS. I tried sshfs but some people say it's not as reliable as NFS.I know sshfs traffic is encrypted. But what about NFS? Can someone sniff my traffic and view the files I'm copying?I'm using NFSv4 in my LAN and it works great.
Can someone sniff NFS over internet?

If you use NFSv4 with sec=krb5p, then it is secure. (That means use Kerberos 5 for authentication, and encrypt the connection for privacy.) But if you use NFS v3 or NFS v4 with sys=system, then no, it's not secure at all.There might also be some concern with exposing the kerberos and rpc ports to the internet at large, just in case of unknown vulnerabilities.
