All of your tutorials are excellent! Walked me through the whole setup for my Synology NAS!

[AMCGremlin]

This went as smoothly as it possibly could. I can't believe how easy it was. THANK YOU!

[davidsheffield]

Thanks so much for making this video. I've tried several times to set up a secured certificate w/o success. Following the instructions in your video worked perfectly. You rock!

[superbaggio]

You rock bro, I really appreciate your videos, always informative and helpful and straight to the point, without any fancy unnecessary video effects or other bs. Keep them video coming.

After all these useless attempts, you really helped me. Thanks a lot!!!

[BradleyKang]

Thank you so much. I have an older synology NAS and I have been messing around trying to figure this out through online forums. This video was so much easier to follow and understand. Love the content!

[pgianpy]

Thanks a lot. The tip to enable http and https if you encounter problems, was GOLD

[lolercareltd]

Excellent presentation. Keep up the great work.

I did find the very end of your video very helpful. I had to open the ports in my router and in the NAS. Everything says it's working, but still not HTTPS. Thanks for getting me a few more steps closer to getting an encrypted connection.

Thanks Will, your channel is the best for synology info

[fredfarnackle]

More excellent info and clearly explained. Many thanks! 😎

Great video. There is a way to use lets encrypt and you have websites hosted on your NAS. What I did was disable all the other sites, create a new virtual host for the name you are needing, then do the cert, works perfect!

[goldgeologist]

I greatly appreciate you talking slower and showing the computer steps slower so a user can follow.

Also thanks for these videos they are very helpful.

I wish you could do a series on the basics for us beginners as this is a lot of terminology and technology to try and learn.

thx for the tutorial. I had to enable port 80 and 443 on mine for it to work

[robertoghinato]

Hi, thanks fore this tutorial but i've still some questions, i'm using firefox to access my synology nas but then firefox always tells me that the connection isn't secure, i want to try this tutorial but i dont have a domain name. what can i do to avoid gettin the firefox error? any help is more then welcome

I have a standard 1GB connection from the NAS to the router, but I also have a dedicated 10GB connection directly from the computer to the NAS. To ensure that I can force a connection from the computer to the NAS over the faster line, I have given that 10GB connection a static IP in its own subnet, separate from the default subnet the rest of my LAN is using (for example, 192.168.75.1 for the NAS and 192.168.75.3 for the ethernet port on the computer, while all other LAN traffic uses the 192.168.1.x subnet).

How can I ensure the system uses the faster connection when I'm connecting to the DNS server name instead of typing in IP addresses? I thought I could adjust the Network > Network Interface > Service Order and set the 10GB connection as the primary interface, but only the 1GB connection appears as an option.

@spacerex could you do an updated video on this topic with the new DSM 7.0.1

[vitusyu]

Could you explain more about the issue about web hosting conflict with Let’s Encrypt use of port 80/443?

[jameseccleson]

This is a great video thanks, I can get the the https page with padlock but it's just a white screen?

[finleythitaparun]

When you host a DDNS server using a Let's Encrypt certificate, how often (if u do at all) do u need to renew the certificate. I received an email stating my Let's Encrypt certificate for the domain I'm using is about to expire. But I don't know how to renew this and don't see any signs that the certificate is going to expire. Even on the certificate) tab, it still says I have a while left.

Thanks.
