Post by: rendez2k on December 13, 2012, 10:55:56 PM

Sign up for DDNS hostname, configure it on your router/NAS and add port-forwarding entry for default port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS). This will allow you remote access to your NAS.

To access other services, add the respective port-forwarding entries.

Cab you recommend a site to get a DDNS host name from?

Of course get it from D-Link not to mention it's still free. ;-)
