How to setup a Synology VPN server on a Synology NASīefore we get started installing the Synology VPN Server you will want to make sure you already have DDNS configured on your Synology NAS and familiar with how to do port forwarding on your home router. There are plenty of VPN services available such as NordVPN (which I also use), but you can also setup your own VPN server on your Synology NAS. So even if someone is attempting to hack the public WiFi, your traffic becomes useless to them and thus your emails, chats, web browsing and file transfers are now secure and out of other peoples sight. The solution would be to use a VPN which will encrypt your traffic between you and the VPN server. In fact it’s so easy for people to eavesdrop and hack a public WiFi that even a 7 year old girl can do it, in under 11 minutes! This means getting rid of ROCK and installing Linux and Roon Core then a VPN server or taking a look at ZeroTier.īefore I do, has anyone definitively got this working on a NUC (I see a number on Windows or Mac), what Linux did you use and what VPN setup please.Public WiFi is something many of use enjoy while we’re at the coffee shop, hotels, airports, libraries and so on, but one thing everyone should or needs to know is that public WiFi is NOT secure.

Synology NAS VPN server = similar to above.

Libreswan on PI = configured to give VPN client address on LAN subnet which looked promising but still no playback over VPN.

OpenVPN on Netgear router, VPN client on different subnet = can only control Roon if it was open and connected via LAN before switching to VPN.I’ve read many / all of the VPN and tried the following: Next, like many people, I want to take this on the road and access from my iPhone. DSP correction of headphones and MQA support provides amazing sound and I’ve really enjoyed discovering music again. Setup Rock on NUC over xmas and very pleased with the result.
