This guide explains how to access a NAS Qnap connected to the internet with a dynamic IP address via a domain name.

Prerequisites

• Have a Qnap NAS connected to the internet with a dynamic IP address.
• A dynamic DNS must have been created on the domain in question.

Linking a Qnap NAS to a domain name

To do this:

1. Open the Qnap NAS management interface.
2. Go to Network & Virtual Switch:
   
3. Click on Add under Access Services > DDNS:
   
4. Enter the following information:
   
   • DDNS Server: Custom
   • Profile Name: Infomaniak (or whatever you want)
   • Username: the ID defined in the Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS
   • Password: the password defined in the Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS
   • Hostname: the URL configured in the Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS
