I have been struggling with this process for weeks due to tutorials expecting users to have full understanding of the options or expecting certain steps to already be done. Starting with a strong clear explanation was very helpful!

As a recent new sub of a few days ago and having watched quite a many so far of your NAS Tutorial vids, I just wanna point out how excellent these tutorials are. It’s important to point that out in feedback vs just saying it’s a good, great video.

Not only are you showing and explaining step by step in details How To Do and Why which is quite important, your also doing something else fundamentally and that is to “educate” the viewer. To me that is HUGE! I don’t know if that’s intentional but I damn appreciate that in understanding as it makes me more understanding overall of the content and topic. I’m not going to say I’m all techie, though I use it and work in Engineering and Process Control Industrial Automations.

Not everyone can know or is expected to know everything, hence all our questions. But you provide substance of context in explaining that I and others can understand these ports in example with real understanding. A 20 min video bother me not in the slightest. People that watch these vids want to understand things and not just say check this, check that etc. Taking the time to properly explain things and some Networking concepts help everyone that invest time and attention to watching for understanding of how to do what and why. With all the fine details as well. So much appreciated and in help making me and everyone else wonderful in Tech.

Reverse Proxy is such a powerful tool!
Very good explanation

[Pootch]

Very good tutorial. Especially the picture at the beginning to the reverse proxy!
What is missing is that you have to create sub domains at your provider first.

Hi, Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Is it possible to use it with cloudflare tunnels so that I don't have to open ports on the router?

[flohpkt]

Thanks for the tut. Can i keep track/log the access to my reverse proxys?

[OliverBuchegger]

Hi. Thank you for the video! Do I have to setup port-forwarding on my router when I setup reverse proxy?

[Dudleydogg]

So nothing about dns don't you have to create cnams and point back to the Synology?
