Thanks again for your input. You may be correct about the aggregation on my home unit. The aggregation on the business unit is necessary though for sufficient bandwidth to serve video to multiple edit machines at once. TBH I'm not too bothered about the transfer speed between units currently...

One IP connection 'bridged' across 2 hardware RJ45 ports for increased transfer speeds. A supported feature for this Synology NAS.

I'll double check the firewall settings. Thanks.

Yesb It's set up for FTPS, but will switch to SFTP exclusively once I have got the basics properly sorted.

Yes that NAS with a bridged 10g connection at the business end and a bridged 1g connection at home.

This is very good food for thought. Thanks. FYI the NAS is the Synology DS-1817

Hi Colin Yes it has this setup of very similar. The issue is it will allow you to allow or deny a specific IP, but as far as I can tell will not allow you to deny all others, which is what I'm trying to achieve. Forgive me if I'm being stupid here, like I said I'm new to this technology.

I very much appreciate your input and will take some time to check the documentation and help files etc before I ask any further about Open VPN. With speeds of 500/500mbs at my business address and 500/35mbs at home I've been seeing maximum transfer speeds of 25-30mbs business to home via FTP...

Hi Colin, Thanks for your reply. The built in Synology firewall allows you to blacklist IP addresses, but sadly doesn't allow you to whitelist, hence my post here.

In answer to your question regarding speed, 500mbs down 35mbs up. Business ISP is 500mbs up & down

As it happens I use an RT-AC86U at my business location and like it very much :) Here at home I have a single ISP with multiple dedicated business IP adresses. The NAS itself it seems, does support Open VPN via a downloadable package, but I'm not familiar with how to set it up to achieve...

Just to be clear. When I say a dedicated IP address, I'm not referring to a to a reserved address within my local network, the NAS has a unique public ip address with no other hardware attached. All my other home hardware operates on a different public ip. As for Open VPN, that doesn't seem to...

Hi all. I'm new here, so apologies if this is posted in the wrong place. I recently added a Synology NAS to my home network. It has a dedicated IP that is entirely detached from all my other network hardware. The NAS is used as a backup server for an identical unit at my business address and...
