Set up VPN Connection
VPN Server is an add-on package that enables your DiskStation to become a PPTP/OpenVPN VPN (virtual
private network) server, allowing DSM local users over the Internet to access resources shared within
DiskStation's local area network. For more information about VPN, refer to here.
Set up your DiskStation as a VPN Server
To install VPN Server on your DiskStation, go to Main Menu > Package Center. For more information about
VPN Server, run and launch the package, and then click its Help button (with a question mark) at the top-right
corner. To learn more about how to access DiskStation's VPN Server with a VPN client, refer to the VPN Server
User's Guide available at Synology's Download Center.
Connect your DiskStation to a VPN Server
Go to Main Menu > Control Panel > VPN to set your DiskStation as a VPN client to connect to a VPN server,
and then gain access to the virtual private network. For each VPN server, you can create or modify its connection
profile, and then use the profile to connect to the server with a simple click. For more information about how to
set your DiskStation as a VPN client, click the Help button (with a question mark) at the top-right corner.
Note: You are not allowed to set your DiskStation as a VPN server and client at the same time.
