ok, the issue here isn't connect though to my Mac, I have succeed connected my TC to my Mac remotely, the issue here is that I can't connect my TC through my iOS devices use 3rd part app such as Files Browser :

You’ll need to have the incoming connections terminate at the Time Capsule, and not pass-through. If you can’t get the app you’re using to access the storage, then confirm that the path is open via port scans, and that the connection is terminating at the expected host—don’t have the Mac running, for instance—and then contact the app vendor support folks.

Quite possibly easier, boot up some old x86-64 hardware with FreeNAS or equivalent, and share that. Or with less risk of unauthorized remote accesses into your own local network, your own hosted storage, using NextCloud or such.

And I’d VPN these connections. Of which Time Capsule is not capable.

So your goal here is to invite the whole internet to test everything about your configuration, always, incessantly, and while using ever-evolving automated attack tools? And to fill your logs, and quite possibly plug up your whole network pipe rummaging, and to swipe all your data should you fail to pick a sufficiently obscure password, of course.

The internet is an increasingly hostile place, unfortunately.

Your existing firewall blocks all of this chatter, up until you start poking holes through your firewall.

Then... you increase the scale and scope of what can and will get attacked.

Push the files out to iCloud or another file-sharing service, if you can.

If you want and need to access your systems remotely, you’re best looking at setting up a VPN into your environment. That’ll usually mean a firewall with an embedded VPN server, or less-desirably a host-based VPN server and VPN pass-through at your existing firewall.

You’re probably also looking at getting dynamic DNS set up, or acquiring to a static (fixed) IP address and DNS, as otherwise your public-facing IP address can and will vary.

SMB is not allowed over internet. If it was the world would descend into chaos. SMB1 which is all Apple ever used in the TC is not secure.

The only way to use SMB is over VPN as per your other post where we started. TC should be used behind a router that supports vpn server.
