Synology-VPN Setup guide for a beginner #synology #vpn #vpn-iphone

let's create VPN server on our Synology NES the first step to do that is we need to go to package Center and install VPN server you can see on the left corner here I have already installed but I wanted to show you from where you can go and install so we are in the package Center and let's find VPN server here right there I see somewhere VPN server it's already installed this is the first step the second step is to configure our router to do that we go to control panel and we go to network within Network sorry external access within external access we go to router configuration and we can click on setup router we run through this tab we can just click here on start it will check our router and all the settings that it is required even though I have a warning here it works perfectly fine for me and I have safely ignored this okay we go to next and we just click on done the next step is to open up our port for routing okay this basically a router Port local port and router port in this case we just click on create here buildin application we click on next and we find scroll down and we find all the applicable VPN server you will see a list of all this port you see on the screen behind all of this port just checkbox all of those and just click on done that should do it so here I'll do apply and I'll click on okay here it'll do whatever the setting require now you can see the connection test was successful you can see okay for all of this we can do one more time this is the second step and the third one we go to ddns add we can do provider anology and here host name also VPN user okay and TK connection but before I do that I'm going to get a certificate from lets encrypt and set it as a default unable to register the IP address to VPN user ddns service okay test get and trip all right now you can see I changed the host name here and now the test connection is normal so everything is done here I'll click on okay the settings may affect okay that's fine all right the window is refreshed so we go back to control panel within control panel we go to external access and we go to ddns you can see the ddns this host name is here and status is normal so what we the next step is we go to VPN server here we go to l2tp and we keep everything um as is we do not want to change anything here just enable here and put a pre-shared key here I'm just going to keep it simple and put it password do the same thing here I'm going to come back later and delete this thing or create a new pre-shared key here apply all the setting here in VPN server is completed we create our user so we to create a user we go to control center control panel within control panel we go to users and group and we just click on create here we can say VPN user just put a password but it has to be secured one because it doesn't allow us to put like some random password here which is not secured one I'm going to skip over all of this thing because these are not necessary for setting up up VPN server everything is done the VPN user is created now let's jump to our iPhone and set up the VP in the settings first go to settings settings search for VPN so click on the second one VPN and device management once you are here what you can do is click on VPN and as you can see before I have already tried this but I'm going to delete this VPN user and I'm going to go over and do it again so here we are going to add a new VPN configuration type we are going to change it to l2tp and description you can name it anything I'm going to keep it simple and put VPN user the server is the ddns that we created which you can find it by by going into control panel external access and ddns I have it handy so we we named it VPN user hyphen test test at senology oh sorry it's do Synology do me okay now that we have a server our account is the username that is VPN user we created password is the password for the user so I believe I did capital P password password one two and the secret is the secret key within the VPN server when we enable l2tp IP sack we did create a pre-shared key so that is the key we are going to input here which was password as well in my case now I'm already on the Wi-Fi I'm going to disable the Wi-Fi done as you can see the VPN user was created we are going to click that select VPN user and we are going trying to connect notice here the top VPN was updated now it's connected so we can validate that by going into VPN server and by going into connction list which I'll show you in a moment VPN server you go to connection list and you can see the up time for this VPN user is 1 minute and 29 second we can refresh and we can see the time upgraded there so now you can see that how we can set up VPN server on our syy Nest Drive and create a VPN user on our iPhone to connect this is very useful when you are traveling around the world and you need access to your personal VPN so you are safe when your data is being transported for example accessing your banking accounts and other security stuff thank you for watching my video please rate and comment and subscribe below
