There are two different ideas in play in this thread.
1. Enable moOde to be a VPN client. This is not the idea I want to address in this reply.
2. Use the Synology VPN server add-on to create private access to the NAS from the Internet. This is the idea that has prompted my reply. Assuming the NAS is inside the company’s firewall, I can’t imagine this proposal being any more acceptable to an employer’s network administrators. They would still have to forward traffic between the firewall and the NAS host and trust you and Synology to “do the right thing”. When I was still working, we had a “demilitarized zone” set up in our network for public-facing services with its own bastion hosts and you had to negotiate getting a service added and administered.
Sorry if I sound like a stick-in-the-mud but like outer space the Internet is an unforgiving environment.
