DDNS
You can register a DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) hostname for your Synology DiskStation, allowing it to
be connected anywhere by entering the hostname in the address bar of your web browser.
Once set up, you and your friends no longer need to remember the IP address to access your
Synology DiskStation. Simply type in the DDNS hostname on the web browser as you would when connecting to
any website. After the setup is complete, the hostname will always point to the external IP of the Synology
DiskStation.
Service Requirement
 The DDNS server of the service provider is working normally.
 The gateway connection is normal.
 Synology DiskStation is able to connect to the DNS server.
 The following addresses are unblocked in the Firewall:

DDNS will only run in a network environment where there is no proxy server required.
