31 Chapter 5: Access your DiskStation from the Internet
Register DDNS for DiskStation
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) simplifies connecting to your DiskStation over the Internet by mapping a
hostname to its IP address. For example, DDNS allows you to access your DiskStation using a domain name
(e.g. www.john.synology.me), with no need to remember an IP address (e.g. 172.16.254.1).
Service Requirement

The servers of the DDNS service provider are working normally.
 The DiskStation is able to connect to the Internet.
 DDNS will only run in a network environment where there is no proxy server required.
 You can only enter one hostname for each DDNS provider.
Register a DDNS hostname for Synology DiskStation
Go to Main Menu > Control Panel > DDNS. You can point an existing hostname at the IP address of your
DiskStation, or register for a new one provided by Synology or several other DDNS providers. Please consult
each provider for more details regarding hostname registration.
