Hey guys,
I've got an issue using Synology Drive. Two or three days ago I've received the message that the used SSL certificate was untrusted. Before that, I was unable to sync my data with the Synology Drive client (installed on a device running Windows 10).
Reading the help reports regarding the issue, I created a "*.synology.me"-DDNS to create a new, trusted certificate using "Let's Encrypt". Everything worked well so far.
Usually I set a firewall rule to "Lan Only" to make sure that no connection from the internet can be established due to security issues. But due to this issue, I don't have a choice to adapt the setting to use the certificate which was created recently.
The problem is that I am unable to establish a connection via the Synology Drive client by using the DNS. Returning to the local IP-address, I would be able to establish a connection, but I do receive the message regarding the untrusted certificate.
I did edit the firewall rule that was blocking any traffic from outside the local network. Still, I am unable to connect in my Drive client using the DNS.
I've read the article at synology regarding the drive configuration "How can I connect to a Synology Drive Server" but I am not sure if the mentioned steps are helpful:
1. I don't want to set up a "Quick Connect" option - so this solution does not apply
2. I tried to customize the domain for the DMS - it did not solve my issue.
3. I did try customize the domain for the Synology Drive, although I don't want to use the function in the browser. Did not work in browser nor Drive Client.
4. I did not set up the Customize an alias and a port for Synology Drive - option, because of my use case.
So I don't think that any of the options does meet my requirements if I understood correctly.
I also tried to open the port 6690 of the NAS firewall to be able to connect - the option did not work either.
Is there any other necessary configuration to use the Synology Drive client with the "synology.me" - DDNS?
Even better: is there a way to create a valid ssl certificate for local conncetions only? If I understood correctly, based on my research, I can create a certificate like this myself, but I do run into the same problem of having an untrusted, self signed certificate which should be used for development tasks only.
I do appreciated any idea or help regarding the issue.
In case I forgot about some crucial information, please tell me so I can add it!
Edit 1 (22.11.2022, 20:47):
It seems that the connection problem is not limited to the Synology Drive server.
I am even unable to open the login page when entering the synology.me-address in my browser.
Even with firewall enabled or disabled.
This might be a problem with the port configuration in my router.
Thank you in advance for your support!
