You can easily turn your DiskStation into a VPN client and connect to an existing VPN (Virtual Private Network) server via PPTP, OpenVPN, or L2TP/IPSec protocols. If you have multiple VPN servers, you can also create specific VPN profiles for each server to quickly switch and connect to different VPN servers with a simple click.
A VPN, or virtual private network, is a solution to meet the need to securely access resources on your private network from the Internet. For businesses or some individuals, with the need for expanding networking capabilities growing, the cost of this physical networking system and their technical support will increase exponentially. When considering the cost-efficiency and the long-term maintenances, VPN is a smart and increasingly attractive solution. With encryption and other security mechanisms, VPN technology allows business members to easily access the central network of the company and leveraging the resources in it just as in LAN. Individuals can also access resources on their home LAN when being far away from home.
