Synology NAS VPN is important since it is directly connected to the network, and if you do not connect to the VPN, it can be a risk, as your data will travel to your device directly from your network. Moreover, anyone can hack your networks and access your vulnerable data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Use_Synology_VPN\"><\/span>Why Use Synology VPN?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your backup files and other data secure is necessary. If you use a VPN on a Synology NAS, here is why you must have to setup VPN on Synology Setup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>High Encryption: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With VPN, you can keep your files and other data secure. Moreover, no other person can intercept this data, since with a VPN, your data will be in the form of uncrackable code.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Safe File Transfer: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When using VPN on Synology, the file transfer will be more protected to your device. Without exposing your personal stored data, you can access it on your home or office device where Synology is connected.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Secure Access:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Use iProVPN to access any document or important data from NAS outside your home or office.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Is_the_Best_VPN_for_Synology_NAS\"><\/span>Which Is the Best VPN for Synology NAS?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many things you must check before planning to avail a VPN service. Here are some features you may check before getting a VPN service. Check if it is worth all your subscription money or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best VPN for Synology NAS to use is the iProVPN, which contains all these features:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>OpenVPN Compatibility:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The first main thing to check if VPN supports OpenVPN. It helps you connect with the Synology NAS efficiently if your VPN; moreover, the Synology VPN setup must be simple with easy steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Strong Encryption Protocols: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the VPN with stronger encryption; the tougher the encryption is, the more data is secure over Synology NAS, and no one can see or access this data. The best VPNs are the one that uses AES 256-bit encryption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>High Speed Servers: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check how much your VPN takes to connect to the country server you want to connect to. Synology NAS contains large amounts of data, and to send them, you will need a good network and a VPN that lets you share files quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Strict No Logs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get the service which do not store users&#8217; history and other data, most VPNs collect this data and sell it to advertising agencies. If this data gets into the wrong hands, that person can misuse your data.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is the important features that VPNs usually mention; only paid services have these strict no-log policies. Free <strong>VPN<\/strong> falsely claims that they have no log rules, which is not correct.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Reliable Customer Support: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are stuck in the VPN on a <strong>Synology NAS<\/strong>, then you may need to contact customer support. Having a VPN service that responds quickly can solve your issue faster without waiting for a day or so.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Set_Up_iProVPN_on_Synology_NAS\"><\/span>How to Set Up iProVPN on Synology NAS?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the general steps to connect VPN on a Synology NAS:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get iProVPN first, since it is a paid service.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download the OpenVPN files from the<a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/\">iProVPN<\/a> site. These files are .ovpn files and contain all the necessary VPN server information. Save the file on the computer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Configure VPN on Synology NAS.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then check your connection in detail:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>IP Test:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Check if your IP address is concealed and alter it with another location\u2019s IP address.
