      Strengthening the security of a Synology storage server

      This guide provides general information on how to enhance the security of a Synology server. For your information, our support team only answers questions concerning the hardware part of Synology storage servers.

      It is necessary to secure your Synology

      Synology NAS are very popular and therefore suffer many hacking attempts. It is therefore important to set up your Synology correctly and protect it with a strong password. If not, it could be vulnerable to automatic scans which look for and detect all connected Synology servers throughout the world with vulnerabilities that are easy to exploit.

      Some best practices to be applied to enhance the security of your Synology server:

      • Systematically update the operating system of the Synology server (DSM)
      • Open the Security Advisor application and do a scan to detect security problems. Implement all the proposed recommendations
      • Change the default port, which is set to 5000 (e.g., 26753 or 38000)
      • Enable and configure the firewall
      • Disable the services and modules that are not used and not necessary for your purposes
      • As far as possible, do not use MyDS
      • Implement these recommendations: https://www.synology.com/fr-fr/knowledgebase/tutorials/615

      Synology: restarting and resetting the NAS

      This guide explains how to restart and reset your NAS. Resetting means setting the Synology you rent from Infomaniak to its original state.

      Restarting Synology

      You can restart your NAS via the Manager:

      1. Open the Manager (manager.infomaniak.com)
      2. Go to Synology
      3. Click the server concerned
      4. Under Quick actions, choose Restart the server

      Resetting Synology

      You can request the reset of your NAS via the Manager:

      1. Open the Manager (manager.infomaniak.com)
      2. Go to Synology
      3. Click the server concerned
      4. Under Quick actions, choose Reset the server

      Two reset modes

      You can choose between the following two reset modes:

      1. SOFT RESET: reset the administrator password and network settings
        Partial reset may be necessary if you no longer have access to the "admin" account. It enables you to redefine a password for the "admin" account
      2. HARD RESET: reset the operating system
        Full reset is required when there is no longer access to the admin account due to erratic configuration in the DSM firewall, etc. Resetting the DSM will restore factory settings. This operation does not normally affect the disk data.

      More details on the procedures here: https://www.synology.com/en-uk/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/General_Setup/How_to_reset_my_Synology_NAS

       Once the reset is complete, log in again with the "admin" username without entering a password and set one immediately afterwards.

      Cancelling the reset request

      After requesting the reset, you must wait while an "in progress" item appears on your dashboard. You can request the cancellation of this reset at any time from here.

      Synology High Availability NAS in a datacenter in Switzerland

      This guide explains how to order Synology High Availability from Infomaniak.

      What is Synology High Availability NAS?

      A Synology High Availability NAS combines two Synology NAS servers into a single high-availability cluster. One server assumes the role of active server, while the other becomes a passive standby server. The active server takes charge of all data requests and services, while everything is continuously replicated to the passive server.

      When the active server is not available, the passive server automatically takes over to ensure that file services and applications can be recovered within a few minutes.

      This infrastructure guarantees perfect redundancy in case of unforeseen incidents.

      Ordering Synology High Availability (SHA)

      1. Order 2 identical Synology NAS via our website (all models are compatible)
      2. Contact our support team, specifying:
        • the email address associated with your Infomaniak account
        • the two NAS you want to link
      3. Our support team will send you a confirmation email when everything is ready
