Unlike previous versions of the router, a username of "admin" is no longer allowed, which is welcome as it helps reduce the chance of a brute-force attack if you expose the administration port to the Internet. At that point, I was prompted to create the administrator account.
SYNOLOGY VPN PLUS SETUP INSTALL
The RT6600ax is just as straight forward, and was even easier to install than the RT1900ac was.Īfter connecting the RT6600ax to my cable modem and powering it on, I went over to my laptop and looked for the default Synology SSID and connected to it with the default password of "synology". The Synology NAS devices all have one thing in common: They're simple to setup. The RT6600ax also included an Ethernet cable and a power supply with a standard barrel connector. There's also a single USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type A) port on the device, but since this is a router, not a storage device, I don't recommend using it. Optionally, you can configure redundancy by using the single 2.5 GbE port to connect to the WAN as well, but this wasn't something I was able to review because I only have a single Internet feed. The router has five Ethernet ports on the back, one to connect to your ISP (the WAN), and four to connect to your internal network.

SYNOLOGY VPN PLUS SETUP PRO
In fact, using my phones hotspot and connecting via my Surface Pro has been my rather cumbersome workaround for now.The RT6600ax also has Tri-band WiFi (2.4 + 5 + 5 Ghz) with six separate antennas that supports 802.11 a/n/ac/ax, as well as 802.11k/v/r roaming. I'm a windows user otherwise and OVPN works fine there. Thank you but this is an iOS 12 specific issue. Just wanted to see if the supposed work around was possible with Synology is all. I just use the VPN to check on a 3D printer at home and tunneling in via the VPN is far more secure than exposing it to the internet via port forwarding. I'm not really willing to roll back out of the beta for this ONE issue.
SYNOLOGY VPN PLUS SETUP MANUAL
The use of manual login info is apparently the issue. What I am asking is whether or not synology provides SOME manner in which you just only import a profile or certificate and am not required to manually enter login info.
Following the synology instructions to the letter ends up requiring username and pass which works fine normally, except in iOS 12 beta at the moment. I saw somewhere that a workaround is to NOT use the username and pass method. Its fixed in an OVPN Connect 3.0 beta in TestFlight that I have not been admitted to.
OVPN has acknowledged it as a reported Apple bug. In the iOS 12 beta it is a known issue that when you do this, and leave the app, the VPN disconnects. By using the synology instructions I also need to enter my diskstation username and pass after importing the file. There's nothing wrong with the ability to import the ovpn file into the app. Just saying I already followed that guide.
