Setting up VPN on Synology NAS

Hey Everyone! Welcome back!

In this video we set up a VPN server on our Synology NAS. It allows us to connect to our network through a service called OpenVPN. This allows you to access any network resources and even remote into computers if needed. This is a great and secure way to work remotely!

Very clear and simply instruction, Thank you!

This was very helpful to me as I'm note really savvy but wanted to try and set up my nas up as best I could, after watching a few tutorials I found your tutorial which I found very easy to follow and very professionaly made.
Many thanks

This is the only video I can follow and set up my #VPN server successfully. Many thanks ...

Was able to follow along step by step by pausing and entering the information, thank you. Got to the end and the VPN says it's connected to my iphone (VPN logo at the top) but there are no folders showing when I go the the phones files. Did I need to give permission to every folder in the server that it needs?

Thanks! Very useful video! Why not just use Synology’s VPN app?

[jamauai]

Finally able to connect to my home network. Thank you! My public IP over VPN shows up as IPv6 even though it’s disabled on the NAS and OpenVPN iOS app. Is this normal?

Hi, thank you for the share. I have some trouble to connect to the VPN I created with step that you gave us, I have an error message that tells me: "This profile doesn't include a client certificate. Continue connecting without a certificate or select one from the Android keychain?" can you help me please ? Thx !

[techcavetoday]

i tried this on my windows machine and I can't connect, do i need a certificate?

[okanerdem]

is it safe ? Why the open vpn ip adress is same? i mean 10.8.0.1

[AlergicToSnow]

Wish you’d gone into a bit more detail. If it doesn’t work for some reason then I’ve got nothing to work with.

Why would you use a VPN over Synologys Quick Connect service?

[jimteng]

Can I just connect remotely back to my Nas just using Openvpn or is there a need to use a 3rd party vpn such as Express PN together with OpenVPN to do that?

[ashitanojoe]

It's perfect tutorial video. Thank you very much. I have a question. I can connect to my host network and I can connect to share folder on my windows server and ip printer etc, but only using their IP addresses. I would like to connect using machine's name. Is there any way to make it possible? I don't have windows server to install WINS server. Thank you very much. I look foward to recieve your message.

Port forwarding without setting specific Wan address will open access to everyone

[billfloyd]

What if your up address changes on your cable modem every time your the power blinks? Or do you have to have a static IP to use this?

[sofiane]

HI, did not work; i have freePro modem, did not allow me to add the firewall Port

[spakainaz]

[TylerPickstock]
