Tailscale on a Synology NAS - Secure Remote Connection without Port Forwarding or Firewall Rules

when i enter the ip , just nothing loading

You mention security at the end - where can I find instructions for adding such security - e.g. you mentioned Lets Encrypt?

how can I map the NAS in the file explorer? I can't see it when the devices are discovered.

does it need to be the same google account to access the NAS? or can other person using other google account access my NAS as long as they know my NAS' IP?

I installed and configured it on my NAS, iPhone nad Laptop.
I can access my NAS on iPhone using Tailscale IP or hostname in public network. No issue al all.
But I am not able to use it for Synology Photos or any other app. It just gives security warning and donesn't work.

From your other videos I had the idea that a NAS could be a substitute for Google Photos and Drive. But yesterday I found a Reddit post with all the security warnings and saying that your NAS shouldn't be exposed to the internet. My idea was to share storage space and photos with family in different countries. And now, I find that this is a big risk not only for the NAS but for all the devices on your network. I feel frustrated and disappointed. If all this is not possible, a NAS is not for me; I prefer Google in that case. Your videos are great but I got the wrong impression from them and I think you should emphasise the problems of exposing the NAS much more. Sorry if I got the wrong ideas and I would love you to correct me and tell me that I am wrong so I can have a bit hope. Thanks for your videos

Are you serious really?? What did you talk all those time? None sense really and explanation was really worse on here seen!!!!

If you limit the access to the port-forwarded portas to your mobile devices public IP address alone, why would it be risky to open ports this way, blocking all other IP addresses??

great guide! do you know how we can use Tailscale in conjunction with hyperbackup/vault to do secure connections to other Synology NAS's?

can we remote ssh with it ?

how would synology photos, video or music etc services work if used with openvpn?

Thanks for the video I was starting to research solutiosn for my upcoming starlink connection. I have synology NAS which I am currently running open vpn and doing some port forwarding to my Virtual machines hosted on Synology NAS. The virtual machines are server 2003 and also investigating using XP 32 bit due to an old 32bit program I need to run. The issue with this is trying to get Tailscale installed on these machines. Is there a solution that you can think of that I can run on NAS that will give access to all my internal network when connected

I have Tailscale app on my phone running.
Somehow my Synology-one-drive and Synology-photo-app does not work when I am outside the network.
I can open browser and login to my Synology web interface.
Anything I am missing?
I tried to put correct addresses in both apps as per tailscale.

How does Tailscale compare with Cloudflare Zero Trust Tunnel and/or Twingate??

Is the connection slow for you when using as a exit node. Mine is slow

Does Tailscale run on all Synology NAses or just the higher end models with the x86 CPU?

Within a few years, opening a port and port-forwarding for any outside access to your internal network is synonymous with using fax machines and having your password "password".

Is this possible on a Qnap aswell?

Surprisingly straight forward 👍
