port

In computer networking, a port is an endpoint of communication. Physical as well as wireless connections are terminated at ports of hardware devices. At the software level, within an operating system, a port is a logical construct that identifies a specific process or a type of network service. Ports are identified for each protocol and address combination by 16-bit unsigned numbers, commonly known as the port number. Inbound packets are received, and the port number in the header is used to decide which application is to be passed the packets.

    RT6600ax RT6600ax USB port only works at USB 2 speeds

    Has anyone gotten any storage attached to the RT6600ax that works at faster than USB 2 speeds? I thought it was supposed to have a USB 3.1 GEN 2 10gbps port? I can't seem to make it go faster than USB 2 speeds. So first I tried the drives plugged straight into the RT6600ax USB port: The drives...

    FTP != port 21 not working

    Hi. DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 5 I changed FTP port 21 to 30021. CP > File Services > FTP > Port number setting of FTP : 30021 Port forwarding on router is correctly setup (30021/tcp->30021/tcp) This works except when I use a FQDN to access the NAS from inside (!) the LAN. There is a reason why...

    Port number automatically added to DDNS url

    I have a DDNS domain name through No-IP that's working with DSM, and I can use https with LE certificates no problem. I want to use reverse proxy to stop so many ports being forwarded on my Netgear Orbi router. I'd be happy to just forward 443 to the nas and have everything coming through there...

    security of the hyper backup vault port

    Just to be sure, I would like to know your opinion on the hyperbackup-vault port. As I do run a cross backup between two online NASses, They have been setup identically. I have opened and forwarded the HB-vault port on my routers to the same port on the NAS. The NAS firewall is active, and it...

    port forwarding from the NAS through VPN to another server on OpenVPN client side

    Hi there, I've set up successfully DDNS + OpenVPN on my Synology DS215J / DSM 7 . Internet Access "on the go" is working well. Additionally I want to route specific ports through the NAS to a server, which is connected through the OpenVPN. Meaning: I want to call DDNS:5xxx, which should be...

    DS218+ to DS220+ = lost one USB port, need help

    Moving from my DS218+ to DS220+ and noticed (surprise!) that the DS220+ has only one rear USB port. On my DS218+ I had an external USB drive and a UPS connected to the two USB ports on the back of the drive. Since there is only one port on the rear of the DS220+, will it work if I plug in the...

    Restrict access of services (DownloadStation, Photos, HyperBackup etc.) to specific LAN port?

    Hello, I am looking for a way to limit internet-access of download station, photos or HyperBackup to one dedicated LAN-port/NIC. I could put this NIC in another subnet or VLAN and set in my gateway/firewall (not the firewall in the DS!) that from this network/VLAN only interface WAN1 (fast...

    Befuddled port forwarding... Off-NAS reverse proxy confusion

    I've been toying with nginx (docker) on a Raspberry Pi, but when I forward 443 to the RPi on the same network, things don't go as I hoped. Some background... Typically, 443 is forwarded to the NAS (443>443) and the NAS internal reverse proxy works as expected. But when I edited the router 443...

    Just for S & G's.... Custom Port Probe

    I just found at Gibson Research "Shield's UP" area: the "Custom Port Probe" area.... So I stuffed in the 6 new default ports I changed on the 2600ac and LAN Based NAS's (718+ & 720+ at V6.2.3 Update 3) to... Stealth on these ports, as well as first 1024 ports! Self taught, so I'm learning as I go!

    DSM 7.0 Docker with Traefik reverse proxy under Synology DSM 7 // free port 80 and 443

    Hi everyone, to run docker with the reverse proxy Traefik v2 on a Synology NAS, I need to be able to use port 80 and 443 on the host system. DSM 7 uses its own reverse proxy, nginx, which tries to occupy the ports on its own. Under DSM 6.2 I could change the port 80 and 443 by using a boot...

    DDNS and Port Number

    Having finally managed to set up my DS218play on an Eero mesh network - DDNS, SSL certificate, https, port forwarding and so forth- I find I am only able to successfully log in using the DDNS name if I use the https port number appended after the DDNS name. Is that expected or have I missed a...

    RT2600ac Port Security - Another security layer

    Hello Everyone! I hope you are all having a nice Christmas! So today I have something new, something that bugged me for a while: Keeping VPN ports open on my router when not needed. On my case, all of our devices "call back" home VPN when away. But doing so means leaving ports open 24/7 and...

    If I change DSM default ports, does that disable the default port access for mobile apps?

    So I'm still poking around my network trying to understand all the ports and how they're interacting. Eventually I'll get some reverse proxies set up, but I want to make sure I clearly understand what is going on at the base level before moving on. I had DSM set on the default 5000/5001 ports...
