QuickConnect provides secure Internet connections between mobile or PC clients and Synology NAS without configuring port forwarding rules or router settings.

• Creates readable URLs for sharing files internally or externally from supported Synology packages.
• Uses LAN/WAN detection to select an optimal connection method. Learn more
• Selects an optimal connection route and can use the QuickConnect relay service to maintain connectivity.
• Uses end-to-end encryption when SSL is enabled.
• Automatically applies required port forwarding rules to compatible UPnP routers.
• Allows administrators to control which applications can be accessed through QuickConnect.
• Provides detailed QuickConnect incident records on the Synology Service Status page. Learn more
• Uses a QuickConnect ID to connect to supported Synology systems, applications, and services. Learn more

• Third-party applications are not supported.
• Some services and packages that require direct mapping to an IP address or DDNS are not supported.
• Relayed QuickConnect connections may be slower than port-forwarded connections because of increased network latency.
• The relay service may not work in some regions because of restrictions imposed by specific Internet service providers.

DDNS translates the domain name of a Synology NAS into an IP address.

• Supports multiple DDNS service providers.
• Provides the Synology Heartbeat service DDNS server.
• Supports custom DDNS provider profiles.

DSM supports multiple Internet connection types, VPN connection types, and IPv6 transition mechanisms.

• Supports PPPoE, DHCP, and static IP Internet connections.
• Supports PPTP, L2TP/IPsec, and OpenVPN connections through .ovpn files.
• Supports the 6in4, 6to4, and DHCPv6-PD IPv6 transition mechanisms.
• Supports multiple gateways.
• Allows preferred and alternative DNS servers to be assigned manually.
• Replies to ARP requests when the target IP address is a local address configured on the incoming interface.
• Connects through a proxy server.
• Supports one concurrent VPN connection.

DSM supports VLAN assignment, network authentication, and link aggregation modes.

• Assigns a VID to each network interface using 802.1Q VLAN.
• Supports the following 802.1X authentication protocols:
  • PEAP and TTLS with MS-CHAPv2 or GTC as the inner authentication method
  • TLS with RSA only
• Supports the following Link Aggregation modes:
  • Adaptive Load Balancing
  • IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation
  • Balance XOR
  • Active/Standby
• Each network interface can have only one VID.

Traffic Control

• Sets outbound bandwidth limits for services that use specific TCP or UDP ports.
• Supports Bond and PPPoE interfaces.
• Supports up to 100 traffic control rules.
• Supports outbound traffic only.
• Allows up to 15 ports in a single rule.

Static Routes

• Supports LAN, VPN, and Bond interfaces.
• Creates routing rules for a specific interface or Bond.
• Supports static routes on multiple gateways.
• Supports up to 100 static routes.
