Remote access to connect to the Synology NAS at home [Intranet Penetration]
In modern enterprises, the role of collaborative office and data sharing has been widely recognized, and Synology, as a small data processing center, has also entered many companies and has become a data storage and processing center in the local area network. However, if it is necessary to access the company's Synology NAS from the public Internet, the problem that public network devices cannot directly access the intranet Synology NAS will become prominent. At this point, we can use the data tunnel function of cpolar to create a data tunnel for the Synology NAS in the intranet, so that company personnel can easily access the Synology NAS in the company's LAN under public network conditions. Now, let's see how to do it.
As an internal network device, the Synology system must establish a data tunnel through cpolar to penetrate the internal network if it wants to access it on the public Internet. Therefore, we need to install the cpolar package on the Synology NAS first. It should be noted that we need to select the corresponding cpolar version to download according to the hardware and version number of the Synology NAS. After cpolar is downloaded to the local computer, select the "manual installation" option in the "package center", and in the subsequent installation file location, select the storage location of the cpolar package to install. It should be noted that the Synology system may prompt a digital signature issue, just select "Continue".

After the installation of the Cpolar suite is complete, we can click the URL address on the package information page to open the web-UI interface of cpolar, and set the data tunnel that can connect to the Synology NAS.
In order to ensure the uniqueness and security of the data tunnel, we need to enter the username and password of cpolar.
After entering the cpolar client, we can see that cpolar has automatically established two sample data tunnels, corresponding to accessing the data stored by Synology and publishing web pages on Synology. Since our purpose is to remotely access the intranet Synology NAS, select the nas-driver tunnel, click the "Edit" button on the right side of this tunnel, and set it locally.
In this tunnel edit page, we can change almost all settings. Such as tunnel name, protocol, local address, domain name type, etc. However, we only modify the protocol and local address here. The first is to change the "protocol" from the original tcp protocol to the http protocol, so that Synology can be accessed through the public Internet; then change the tunnel name to NAS-SSH, which is convenient for us to distinguish between tunnels; and the port can be based on the actual usage. Change to an unoccupied port. In this example, we choose port 5000. After completing these changes, you can click the "Create" button below to generate a data tunnel that can connect to the Synology NAS.
Then, we click the "Online Tunnel List" under the "Status" item on the left side of the cpolar interface, and we can view the address of the remote access Synology NAS, which means that we can use this address on the public Internet device to access the location at Synology NAS on the intranet.
Through the above introduction, it is not difficult to see that through a few simple steps, we can use the data tunnel created by cpolar to easily access the Synology NAS located on the intranet on public Internet devices. Of course, using the data tunnel created by cpolar to access the intranet Synology NAS is just one of the many application scenarios of cpolar. If you have any questions about the use of cpolar, please contact us, we will provide you with assistance within our ability. Of course, you are also welcome to join the VIP official group of cpolar to explore the unlimited potential of cpolar together.
