Description: Hi there, This is Zsolt from Cafe English Language School in Budapest, Hungary. We recently acquired a Synology NAS 224+ and are seeking an experienced freelancer to configure it for secure remote access, efficient file sharing, and optimized performance. Our NAS does not have a fixed public IP address, so the solution must rely on a robust VPN setup, specifically Tailscale. We require a comprehensive setup that ensures seamless access and functionality for both remote and internal use. Task Details 1. Remote Access Setup Using Tailscale: Configure Tailscale VPN on the Synology NAS for secure, reliable remote access without requiring a fixed public IP address. Enable the NAS to function as a mounted drive on a MacBook Pro M3 from any global location, ensuring seamless file access and management. Provide guidance or automate any necessary steps to keep the Tailscale configuration stable and maintainable. 2. Internal Network Configuration: Assign a fixed internal IP address to the NAS within the local network for improved stability and easy access. Ensure the NAS is properly integrated into the internal network and accessible to all required devices. Document the configuration steps for future reference, as I’m not very familiar with network setup. 3. Folder Sharing Setup: Create a shared folder titled "Teachers" with read-only web access (similar to Dropbox functionality). Configure permissions to allow teachers to generate shareable links for any file, enabling direct sharing with students without needing to download files first. Ensure the sharing process is user-friendly and well-documented. 4. Performance Optimization: Investigate and resolve performance issues affecting the NAS. Currently, a 3.4 GB file takes 10 minutes to download from the NAS, compared to just 3 minutes from Dropbox on the same 1000 Mbps fiber connection. Identify and fix the cause of this discrepancy to ensure the NAS operates at optimal speeds. Install a speed test utility on the NAS to enable ongoing monitoring of network performance. 5. Testing and Verification: After setup, test the following: Remote access functionality via Tailscale. Internal network stability with the fixed IP address. Performance improvements for file transfers. Sharing and link-generation functionality in the "Teachers" folder. Requirements: Proven experience with Synology NAS devices and Tailscale VPN setup. Expertise in network configuration, including assigning fixed IPs within local networks. Strong troubleshooting skills to address performance bottlenecks and optimize file transfer speeds. Familiarity with macOS integration to configure and test remote access as a mounted drive. Ability to document all steps for future reference. If you have the expertise to handle this project, please reach out with the following: A brief outline of your approach to configuring Tailscale and optimizing the NAS. Estimated timeline for completing the setup. Your proposed cost for the entire project. Looking forward to working with you! Kind wishes, Zsolt Cafe English Language School Budapest, Hungary
