VPN Plus Server

VPN Plus Server turns your Synology Router into an advanced VPN (virtual private network) server. This package allows users to access Internet resources and those in the local networks behind your Synology Router, simply through a VPN client or a web browser.

VPN Plus Server offers the following features:

  • Synology-exclusive VPN services: Synology SSL VPN, clientless WebVPN, and Remote Desktop
  • Site-to-Site VPN service: providing secure connections for networks in multiple fixed locations with each other over the Internet
  • Standard VPN services: SSTP VPN, OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec VPN, and PPTP VPN
  • Managments: User/group permissions, VPN traffic monitor and control, and management/connection logs

Note:

  • Only the network administrator can set up and manage VPN Plus Server.
  • Enabling a VPN service may affect network performance of your Synology Router.

Synology SSL VPN

Set up Synology SSL VPN and connect via the Synology-exclusive client for safe and swift VPN access to webpages, files, and applications.

Remote Desktop

Set up Remote Desktop service to access a client desktop remotely within the network of your Synology Router via RDP or VNC protocol.

WebVPN

Set up WebVPN and connect via a popular web browser for easy VPN access to webpages, without installing any client.

Standard VPN

Site-to-Site VPN

Set up Site-to-Site VPN service to allow networks in multiple fixed locations to establish secure connections to each other over the Internet.

Configuration Migration

If VPN Server is now running on the Synology Router, you can migrate the VPN service settings, user privileges, and logs from VPN Server to VPN Plus Server for continuous use.

  1. Go to Package Center, and set the action of VPN Server to Stop.
  2. Install and run VPN Plus Server via Package Center.
  3. Open VPN Plus Server. When relevant settings and logs of VPN Server are detected, a migration wizard will appear.
  4. Select the items to migrate to VPN Plus Server, and follow the wizard's instructions to finish migration.

Note:

  • To avoid configuration conflicts, do not run VPN Server and VPN Plus Server at the same time.
  • If your Synology Router has joined a Windows AD domain or an LDAP domain, make sure the total number of user accounts is within 500 to ensure smooth migration or permission adjustments.
