VPN Plus (iOS)

Version 1.0

VPN Plus allows easy access to Internet and local network resources via the Synology SSL VPN service powered by the Synology Router. This mobile application provides you with fast connection speeds, enhanced security, and better capacity to pass through firewalls.

Before You Start

Before setting up VPN Plus, please log in to SRM to install and set up VPN Plus Server and the Synology SSL VPN service (at VPN Plus Server > Synology VPN > SSL VPN).

Note:

  • SRM version 1.1.2 or above is required on the Synology Router.

Getting Started

To log in to VPN Plus:

  1. Enter the following information on the login page:
    • Domain name or IP: Enter the external IP address or a registered domain name.
      Note: When you enter a registered domain name, it must be matched with your Synology Router IP on the DNS server.
    • Account and Password: Enter your SRM account login credentials.
    • For your first login, you will be prompted to keep the VPN configurations as a regular profile. Tap Allow to create one. For future login, tap the rightward arrow next to Domain name or IP to select a profile.
  2. Tap Connect to start a Synology SSL VPN connection.

Note:

  • If the network administrator has enabled split tunneling, only traffic to destination webpages/applications/servers in specified local subnets or IP ranges will go through VPN. The rest of traffic will go through the default gateway.

To auto-reconnect:

When switching between mobile networks, you may be disconnected from the Synology SSL VPN service. To auto-reconnect to the service, enable Auto-reconnect.

To log out of VPN Plus:

Tap Disconnect on the login page.
