True. I would argue that Internet connection just requires a TCP/IP
connection which NFS definitely supported.

over TCP

At the very least a tunneling IP-VPN would be sufficient to
meet the claimed limitation, and using an IP-VPN to enable
remote NFS access is/was a pretty common use of them.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

NFS mounts can occur over the internet. IP addressing and UDP
are all that is required. Not TCP. It use to be a very
insecure vulnerability and method of connecting to a remote
servers and generally not permitted now.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
