PPTP: Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is one of the most commonly used
methods for VPN connection. It is natively supported by Windows, Mac, Linux, Android,
and iPhone.
Note: The default NAS IP is 10.0.0.1 under PPTP VPN connection.
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.
Note: Upload the configuration file to the OpenVPN client every time the OpenVPN
settings, myQNAPcloud name, or the secure certificate is changed.
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.
