Add a new host entry Synology DDNS Service The detailed setup differs from one provider to another, check the documentation or FAQ but mostly it is self explaining and easy to setup. Add a new entry to your DDNS account (Synology DDNS does that automatically). Generate a token or credentials. You can’t log in with them into your DDNS account. The separate login or the token is linked to exactly one sub domain and can only be used for updating the IP.

Also update tokens/separate credentials should be offered.

If you look for a provider, not in the list, check if it offers an update mechanism for your device (router or DiskStation). I use the Synology DDNS but also used spDyn (for free) for some time and tried others as well.

Otherwise you have to use the DiskStation, this usually works fine.* Check which providers are offered by your router, if none of the preinstalled fits, check if you can add your own, otherwise use the DiskStation. It is better to have DDNS configured on your router (the router knows when the external IP changes). Gladly, router and DiskStations have already such a client.

You can install a DDNS client on your PC/a raspberry but the device has to be up and running to do its job. The downside of this is, that you need a client that tells the DDNS entry the new IP address. DDNS solves this by offering an update mechanism who does the work for you. Sure you could update the DNS entry ever day but that is dumb and will not work if your host should be reachable at anytime. If you get a new IP address assigned every day, the DNS will not work. If someone wants to visit the domain, a DNS server tells you which IP address should be used for the network communication. How DDNS worksĭNS maps a domain to a certain IP. Some router and the DS allow to extend the list. DiskStation and some router offer access to certain provider. If you don’t have your own domain, you could use different DDNS sub domains. If you want to use different sub domains or virtual hosts, you need another DDNS provider/a provider that offers several sub domains. : - Service provided by any other device in your LAN Http(s):///blog - DS Blog, your homepage, any other website

The router has to forward the request to the actual target. With the DDNS hostname that is linked to your external IP, you will reach your router. Even if you want to expose different services (even on different servers), this is not an issue. Usually this is OK, you only have one external IP anyway. Downside: You only have von Subdomain per registered DiskStation. Beside being free, you can access the Synology-DDNS directly via DiskStation.

You get a free DDNS-Entry from Synology, if you register your DiskStation. If you don’t have a static IP you need DDNS. It is not required, you can use the (static) IP, also DDNS provider mostly five you domains like this.

A device that has internet access but is not connected to your LAN (e.g.

At some providers you are able to order a business package (and those are sometimes not more expensive than the private ones) even as a private customer.

either a static IP, usually you don’t have that as a private customer (this may vary, depending on the country you live in), sometimes you can negotiate with your provider to get one.

A router, that you are able to configure (NAT/Portforwarding, optional DDNS) that has access to the internet.

Nextcloud running on your DiskStation.

This article covers only security related to Web Station and Nextcloud, also it isn’t a complete guide to network security. But keep in mind that different services need different steps to keep them secure.

This tutorial works (beside the Synology part) for any server based service in you LAN.Ībout the Synology part: The tutorial shows how to set up external access to the Web Station but with a few changes it also works on any other package like the Photo Station or the Video Station. In the meantime I did a complete reset of my DiskStation and verified the steps. Nevertheless, the topic is important and I reconstructed the setup. Unfortunately the places where to find those options changed and I also experimented a lot which made it hard to note down which steps are necessary and where to change things. When updating to DSM6 the settings got applied automatically. Also most the steps that are needed to externally access your Nextcloud, apply to any other service, provided by your DiskStation (or servers in general). Also I did the setup in DSM5. It is related to Nextcloud but not required to run Nextcloud. I skipped this topic in my Nextcloud posts.
