Setting Up a Port Forward for a Synology DS2411+ device
You might need to forward some ports in your router when you use a Synology DS2411+ device. The purpose of forwarding ports is to make a direct connection from the internet to a Synology DS2411+ device.
Routers do not generally allow incoming connection requests from the internet. Forwarding ports can work around this limitation.
