Secure (HTTPS) public access to Synology NAS using Let’s Encrypt (free) SSL certificate

February 17, 2017

Secure public access to your Synology?

Every time I’m outside of my home network, and I need to get something from my Synology NAS, I’m facing the same dillema. Who’s sniffing the network I’m on, and who will I hand over my credentials in plain text using HTTP.

Of course, you can add extra security to your Synology account by using 2 step authentication, or first establishing connection to (preferably private) VPN connection. But even then … footprint of sensitive data you’re leaving behind you is just not worth it.

To resolve this problem, you could get a self-signed SSL certificate, but whole process will cost you time and money. But thanks to good people at Let’s Encrypt, this whole process now takes 15 minutes process and is free!

Secure (HTTPS) access to Synology NAS using Let’s Encrypt (free) SSL certificate

There are couple of tutorials which cover this same topic, however reason why I wrote my own is because none of them worked for me.
