Proxy Server

Proxy Server is an application that provides caching and access control for HTTP-based services. With caching, you can reserve caching storage space on your Synology NAS to store web content. Once a user makes an HTTP request, Proxy Server will retrieve cached content from your Synology NAS, effectively speeding up services and saving time. You can also use Proxy Server to deny users from accessing restricted web services, keeping your network safe and productive.

For HTTPS requests, files will not be cached but access rules will still be enforced.

To launch Proxy Server:

Go to Main Menu and click Proxy Server.

Back up and Restore

You can back up Proxy Server and restore it to a previous version via Hyper Backup.

To back up Proxy Server:

Go to Hyper Backup > Create > Data backup task to create a backup task.
Follow the Backup Wizard instructions, and choose Proxy Server when you are prompted to select applications to back up.
After the backup task is complete, all the configuration files will be backed up.

To restore Proxy Server:

Go to Hyper Backup > Restore > Data to restore the desired backup task.
After the restore task is complete, the current configuration files of Proxy Server will be overwritten.

Note:

The backup and restore functions support all versions of Proxy Server with DSM 5.0 (or later).
