Having made our Synology NAS secure. We can, if we wish configure our NAS so that it can be accessed from the internet. So in this video we look at a setting in Disk Station Manager (DSM) called External Access.

External Access will allow us to configure the router on our home network so that we can create port forwards. We also take a look at Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS), which is an easy way to create a Host Name for our NAS.

Finally, because we can automatically create a free SSL certificate. We take a quick look at that SSL certificate, and then configure our NAS to only allow SSL connections from the internet.

Note: If you have a static public IP address, there is no need to configure DDNS on your NAS. However, in the UK, very few Internet Service Providers will offer a domestic broadband connection with a static IP address. The Internet Service Provider we us is Plusnet, this is because for a small fee (£5), Plusnet will permanently assign a static IP address to any of their domestic broadband connections.
