OpenVPN: OpenVPN is an open source VPN solution which utilizes SSL encryption for
secure connection. To connect to the OpenVPN server, OpenVPN client must be
installed on your PC. Click "Download Configuration File" to download the VPN client
settings, certificate/key and installation guide from the NAS and upload the files to the
OpenVPN client.
3.
Configure port forwarding by auto router configuration: The NAS supports auto port
forwarding for UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play network protocol) routers. Go to
"myQNAPcloud" > "Auto Router Configuration" to enable UPnP port forwarding and open
the ports of the PPTP or OpenVPN service on the router.
4.
Register myQNAPcloud service: You can connect to the NAS by WAN IP or myQNAPcloud
name. To configure myQNAPcloud service, check the chapter on myQNAPcloud Service or
visit myQNAPcloud (https://www.myqnapcloud.com).
5.
Add VPN users: Go to "Applications" > "VPN Service" > "VPN Client Management", click
"Add VPN Users". The local NAS users will be listed. Select the users who are allowed to
use the VPN service and their connection method (PPTP, OpenVPN, or both). Click "Add".
o
Connect to the private network by a VPN client: Now you can use your VPN client to
connect to the NAS via the VPN service.
Note:
The default NAS IP is 10.0.0.1 under PPTP VPN connection.
Upload the configuration file to the OpenVPN client every time the OpenVPN settings,
myQNAPcloud name, or the secure certificate is changed.
To connect to the PPTP server on the Internet, the PPTP passthrough options on some
routers have to be opened. PPTP uses only port TCP-1723; forward this port manually if
your router does not support UPnP.
Additional Reference:
You can add an extra layer of security to the VPN service by installing L2TP/IPsec from
the App Center. Please refer to the NAS Add-ons chapter for details.
