![]() ![]() Even if I continue to fall in love with Tailscale, I will always maintain the OpenVPN server on my router. I find OpenVPN connects quicker and gives a more stable connection to the Synology router. I once I figured out the subnet issues and such, I moved onto OpenVPN. Then you will need to do the same thing on your NAS firewall except instead of allowing all of the subnet, go through and click on all of the individual services you use on the NAS.Īnytime you set up another VPN that creates a new subnet, you will need to do the same thing.įWIW, I started with L2TP/IPSEC because it was easy for me to wrap my head around setting up clients with shared secrets and passwords rather than installing separate client apps and certificates. Add a rule to the router firewall to “Allow All” of the subnet created by the VPN. If you are connecting to your RT2600 with L2TP, but cannot access your network, it is probable your firewall. My preference is to VPN into my network through on my router, but this works really well and requires no open ports or port forwarding. I access my network by activating the Tailscale subnet feature on one of my NAS units. It’s ability to traverse various firewalls is amazing. (It has been a long pandemic and I have been trying to teach myself networking). I have also set up a Tailscale VPN on the NAS units and various Macs. I have set up L2TP, Synology SSL, and OpenVPN, on the Synology VPN+ server. I have a Synology RT2600ac and a DS-918 and DS-920+. I use Syncthing instead of Drive, so have posted a link to some useful information too. ![]() Here are some links to help you get started. You will need a few extra things once you set up Tailscale, namely (1) DNS server running on your NAS (or your RT2600) with proper address resolution (not sure if this is 100% required, but I already had this set up), (2) subnet route option ON in Tailscale options. I've had success mounting shared folders in Linux (should be just as easy on Windows, Mac OS, etc) just by specifying //nas-name/share-folder from an external network, as long as both machines are connected to your Tailscale VPN. Also, I did not like the fact that my NAS was publicly accessible. I tried the Synology VPN Plus method, but it's just too messy and error-prone for me - never got it working like I wanted. Hey! I'm not an expert by any means, but I have set up something similar to what you have described. ![]()
