Summary

A network-attached storage device (NAS) is a great way to backup files or an entire computer, and it can also be used as a media server. However, accessing a NAS when out and about can be cumbersome and insecure. Twingate Starter offers a simple, secure, and free solution for remote access to Synology NAS devices. It does not require setting up a VPN, port forwarding, static IP addresses, or configuring DDNS. The process involves signing up for a Twingate account, deploying the Twingate Connector on the NAS device via Docker, generating tokens for the Connector, and adding a Resource to enable remote access. With Twingate, users can securely access their NAS devices from anywhere, stream photos, music, or videos, monitor camera footage, and use their NAS as a file server. The solution is easy to set up and maintain, making it ideal for home and personal use.
