G+_Kevin Rippentrop Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hello everyone... got a Synology Quick Connect question for you. I have been running my NAS for about a year now and it's been 100% perfect. I am running into a need for remote access to the business files now though. The Quick Connect feature sounds like my answer, but is it safe? Any words of wisdom is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I'll start by saying I don't have a Synology. If I'm not mistaken, though, the Quick Connect is a way to access your NAS from their website. Because you specified "business", I'd recommend avoiding their service if possible and setup OpenVPN. The VPN will give you a direct connection to the network your NAS is on (or directly to the NAS if you're running the VPN on the Synology). The VPN will usually require that you also setup port forwarding so if you don't have access to the router configuration then this option won't work. In that case, I'd have to let someone else speak to the security of Quick Connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
