Hello, does anyone know if I can also access the NAS from outside my network. So I have the NAS in my office (my own with its own internet/router) and I want to access it from home. Is this possible out-of-the-box or do I need additional software for this? Thanks a lot

Follow Gschwinds' link.

Some things to consider regarding security:
1. run security advisor and implement tips (the next two points should also be pointed out by the advisor).
2. deactivate admin account and give your user administration rights with a strong password.
3. change standard ports (5000-> http, 5001->https).
I would use something in the 4-digit range...
4. settings security -> switch

I've been using the DS218play and my macbook for about 2 years now. i'm currently also using big sure. i use it for video streaming on the apple tv via plex and as a backup server via timemachine. everything works perfectly.
the interface of the ds runs via the browser.

I have attached an external WD Elements 4TB to this station. However, this hard drive does not go into hibernation mode. According to the internet, Synology does not support hibernation for this hard drive. Is there any way to adjust this? Or which hard drive (4TB) would go into hibernation mode?

There is a list on Synology which external disks support hibernation mode.
Go to Settings > Hardware and Power > Hard Drive Hibernation > Set USB Hard Drive Time. Then the hibernation mode should work P.B

With the Ds218play, can I simply replace the hard disks with larger ones at a later date? (I'm buying 2x4TB now and if I need more later I'll replace them with e.g. 2x8TB) Is it designed for that?

Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide for any expansion of the working memory of the NAS. Thus, the maximum memory is already installed.

Why is this bundle more expensive than buying the individual parts yourself? (474 Fr.). Normally the bundles are always cheaper than the individual parts.
