I use Download Station on one of my Diskstations. I do not run any bittorrent application on any other device. That particular Diskstation has an always-on VPN using the Diskstation's built-in VPN client. It is always connected to Torguard. The firewall in the RT2600 is set so that all...

Hi all I recently purchased a Synology DS423+ station. I have set it up by watching a few You tube vids etc. My issue is I can never see the NAS on my local PC which is on the same network, without having to go via the Synology assistant and discovering it each time. I have to turn off the...

Given that my NAS is only used as a file and backup server, I have setup the NAS firewall to not accept anything outside of my local network (NAS to accept only the 192.168.1.xxx addresses). Not unexpectedly, that blocks Active Insight from communicating with my NAS. Should I care about...

[RESOLVED] Need help badly. Was learning about certificates, reverse proxy etc., was playing with firewall settings and I locked myself out of my DS418play. Did the 4 second soft boot, heard the beep. I plugged my Linux laptop directly into the port, Downloaded and installed Synology...

Router Firewall without VLAN question: Why is it that a rule blocking an IP from accessing internet works, using ALL (prevents computer from accessing internet) but a rule blocking internet from accessing an IP doesn't when ALL is substituted with INTERNET? Is it because the computer...
