Hey,
I have 2 x Synology NAS and I can connect to both just fine on LAN and I'm having issues with connecting to them externally. Rather than talk about both NAS I'd like to focus on one of them and get that working and then introduce the other and see what other settings I have to change. Ultimately I want two NAS connectable from either LAN or WAN.
Points to note - NAS 1:
- Firewall off on NAS and Router
Go>Server
Trying to connect through macbook Finder>Go>Server to NAS on an external network
I type the DDNS 'https://mynas.synology.me:5001' >
Verify Certificate message "WebDAV server was signed by unknown authority..." >
"You are attempting to connect to server mynas.synology.me" press connect >
I get the admin/password screen >
"Problem connecting - check server name or IP address"
or
I type in the external IP address + port and it then it spins out trying to connect and fails - Don't even get the admin/password option
FTP
Port 21 - connection timeout
Port 22 -
Status: Connecting to 192.168.0.147...
Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=11
Command: open "dam@192.168.0.147" 22
Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error: Could not connect to server
So that's all on one NAS - then you add another NAS in the mix and my mind has given up.
Frustration level = 7/10 atm
Please help

Points to note - NAS 1:
- I have both a PC and a Macbook and both see the NAS drive and are able to connect on LAN
- I have DDNS set up and I can actually access the admin page/DSM on an external network, by using mynas.synology.me for example
- Set up with static internal IP
- I have port forwarding set up manually on the router
- Firewall off on NAS and Router
