Hello all,
I recently moved to Cloudflare for my home network for the purpose of hiding my IP address. Unfortunately, that seems to have made the desktop Synology Drive Client unable to sync. I know it relies on port 6690 and it is open on my router and redirected to the NAS properly - prior to switching to Cloudflare, everything was working just fine.
Can anyone suggest a way to still protect my IP address, but allow the Drive client to connect to the NAS across the internet - preferably without resorting to a VPN (need to be able to deploy this to less tech-savvy family members' devices).
Thank you!
ЕDIT: To clarify, I don't use Synology Quick Connect, but a domain of my own. I realise now that using the actual IP address does work, but given that there is a slim chance it may be changed by my ISP, I'd really prefer to use the domain name, because in the event of an IP change, I can just update the DNS records and this will ensure all clients still work.
