Hi everyone. I was wondering if the VPN feature of an Xpenology system would allow me to create a VPN (OpenVPN) to connect to my network when away from home - granting me access to my network resources rather than just the device itself.

XPEH

Syno VPN works on both real and XPEnology boxes. Way to find your server from outside (DDNS) and port forwarding is required. Installation and configuration is simple.

haldi

Yes this does work. You need the VPN Server package and create a Server.

XPEH

When setting up the VPN server its a good idea to set the IP DHCP range to one of the less used private ranges eg 172.21.x.x, that way you are unlikely to clash with the 'popular' 192.168.x.x ones

renegadeBE

To ensure its smooth operation wherever you are, use port 443 in udp. Many institutions limit the use of ports. Port 80 and 443 will still be open, else, impossible to use the browser

Polanskiman

I use OpenVPN. Works fine. IP range is something that needs to be thought thoroughly to make sure as @sbv3000 mentioned that it does not enter into conflict with the IP range of your actual location. Chose a private range but who is beyond the usual (192.168.x.x. etc)

I tried to find answer but didn't find it. Looks like using a QC with generated SN is not recommended.

Quick Connect is a combination of DDNS and remote proxy through a Synology server. It uses outbound polling to determine whether a connection request is pending. Therefore it does not need any ports opened on your firewall/router.

I just want to be able to see pictures and some documents sometimes. Is DS Photo doesn't work too, right?

Polanskiman

Personally, I don't like the security implications of either of the above. Instead I use Guacamole, an open source remote proxy, for remote RDP access to my PC (and therefore to the NAS as necessary), or SSH directly to the NAS/firewall/ESXi/whatever consoles.

flyride

Or simply open VPN required ports to the world only. That is pretty safe in my opinion.
