DDNS speed while on local network

[RogerA]

Hi all,
Currently I use Quickconnect on my DS220+. Works fine but from what I understand it eats some speed compared to using DDNS. Quickconnect is smart in that sense it understands when I try to access anything while being home. It then uses the local LAN speed.

How do a DDNS setup work. Will it also "understand" when I query my services from my local network and be limited to my LAN speed?

Thanks,
Roger

If your router uses NAT loopback feature it will work fine.

Thanks, clear and straight answer! As my router(s) doesn't support that feature I will have to stay with QC. Sometimes less options are a good thing... no need to think more about this.

if you have the option to create local dns entries , you could just enter a record of your ddns name and point it to your local nas ip. When on the home network any queries of that ddns name will resolve to the local ip.

Ok, this was another new thing for me to look into. Thanks!
