I got a Synology Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, and a week later I'm using it for photo backup, shared Excel files with my spouse, and to run some home security cameras.
Since the NAS is on my home network z
I'm realizing I'm going to miss being able to access these services out and about, like I could when I was using cloud services.
Does anyone have experience sharing Synology NAS functionality on the broader Internet?
For some context, I know enough not to do anything really foolish.
But what I don't know is what ways have worked best for others to access their Synology remotely?
Anyone using their Synology behind an inbound Virtual Private Network (VPN)? Anyone just making it routable with strong passwords over IPV6? Maybe with a simple Web Application Firewall (WAF) to limit traffic to what is expected? Anyone using Synology's cloud for this stuff?
I would like to setup something, and would love to benefit from your experiences.
Edit: Tailscale turned out to be a bit more than I need, so I ended up using Synology's built-in support for OpenVPN combined with Synolgoy's built-in support for Dynamic DNS (DDNS). I did have to do some pinhole routing, which I understand would not have been needed with Tailscale.
"When we decided to give the test to the development team (about 15 developers) — most of them got scores that were lower than our threshold (45%), despite them all being rock-solid developers. Also, there were some candidates who managed to get 95% and above — but would then just be absolutely awful during the interview — we would later discover that they were paying someone to complete the technical test on their behalf.
There is no substitute for taking the time to sit down and talk to someone."
That's pretty good advice. Interesting read.
