Thanks for this. Nice info.

Once again great guide. Thank you

I suggest disabling QuickConnect after installing TailScale on both DSM and all other devices. Very secure, faster, no need to change your router ports, no need for port forwarding.

Yeah, I use Wireguard to remote into my local network. But I also have 2FA authenticator enabled for DSM logins, so I'm not too worried.

Do you use public ip and direct connection through TailScale?

But in this case, I think you cannot auto renew the "let's encrypt" certificates. It seems you need the port 80 and 443 open to work...

Good stuff. At some point I will study how to be able to access Synology Photos photo sharing from outside the LAN, from the internet, and this video as well as the video it links to will come in handy. At one point decades ago I had port forwarding and static/dynamic IP address lookups for a CCTV camera I had but I completely forgot what I did to get it to work.

Use tailscale easier and way more secure than opening your nas to the world. It's also fast enough.

Good Job! Even I needed to know a couple things about that. LOL!

My take, Quick connect is great for login in from a browser or phone app. If you use dive in your laptop I would suggest connecting through tailscale as it's much faster than Quick connect. My case: I use my laptop a lot outside my home and I need to access my files with good speed. Tailscale can do that and Quick connect is just too slow. If you are sharing a file with someone you will have to do Quick connect as it's easy and you can just create links.

I've been thinking about this for when I get a NAS. But I didn't like the idea of connecting it to a device that has access to the internet, i.e. your wifi router. As it's been a headache about all the security things you'd need to implement it, etc. And I realized something, that I could just buy a separate wifi router and connect that to the NAS to where it's not connected to anything that's connected to the internet and then not have to worry so much about security regarding internet connections.

What about hole punching (from synology’s white paper), how does that work)

What I would love to know (slight change of topic) is…. It possible to set up Synology Drive to use reverse proxy? It will use quick connect, but it is so slow because it does through the relay.

You content is great but DAM need to put on 1.5x speed 😅

I've yet to be able to connect to Quick Connect while out-of-town. I'm not sure why.

I don't know if NAS's have this as I haven't upgraded to one yet, but plan to. Is if NAS's came with built in Wifi transmitters. Where you could connect to it wirelessly without having to connect it to your internet router.

WiFi connections are slower and less stable compared to wired connections. When you do a speed test, the results are shown in Mbps (Megabits per second), whereas file transfer speeds are in MB/s (Megabytes per second), with 1 byte equaling 8 bits. Most Synology NAS devices support a 1 Gbps wired connections , which is 125 MB/s. If your NAS is connected via Ethernet and your computer is on WiFi, you might see speeds around 70-80 MB/s. However, if both the NAS and your computer are on WiFi, the speeds could drop a lot, potentially below 30-50 MB/s. This will make large file transfers very slow.

@@hassan_ksu I'd connect the NAS to the wifi router via Ethernet and connect my computers via wifi. I'd also see if there are programs for NAS to run a hash to make sure file transfers or whatever were done correctly over wifi. I'd set my NAS up with 3.5" drives, and put in some NVME SSD's for a buffer to help speed things up.

Is setting up TailScale better than Quick Connect.

An alternative is (if your router has the capability) to configure your router as a VPN. After connecting to this VPN you can access your local network from all over the place.

Yes. But via IPv4. And QC redirects you to local connection, if possible.

Port forwarding doesn't work if your ISP has you on CGNAT... You need to get off CGNAT and onto a dedicated IP, even if it's not static.

Pretty sure you have covered this before. This seems more like a recycled video.
