Synology DSM Global Proxy Setup Tutorial

# Synology DSM Global Proxy Setup Tutorial ## 📋 Video Overview This tutorial, presented by DP, is part of the Synology beginner series. The video provides a detailed walkthrough on how to configure a global proxy server for Synology NAS's DSM (DiskStation Manager) operating system, helping users overcome network access restrictions. --- ## 🎯 Core Content ### Why Do You Need DSM Global Proxy? - **Network Access Restrictions**: Due to well-known network environment issues, certain services and resources may be inaccessible directly - **Simplified Configuration**: Compared to configuring proxy settings for each Docker container individually (which was covered in a previous tutorial), a global proxy allows all operations on the entire NAS system to route through the proxy server - **Special Use Cases**: When facing special circumstances or simply wanting to take a "shortcut," global proxy is the most convenient solution ### Configuration Steps (Simple & Easy) The highlight of this tutorial is its **simplicity**. The entire configuration process takes just a few steps: 1. **Open Control Panel**: Access the DSM Control Panel interface 2. **Select Network Settings**: Click on the "Network" option 3. **Locate Proxy Settings**: Scroll down on the network settings page to find the "Proxy" section 4. **Enable Proxy Connection**: Check the "Connect via proxy server" option 5. **Enter Proxy Information**: - Input the proxy server IP address (typically a local area network IP) - Input the proxy service port number 6. **Apply Configuration**: Click the "Apply" button to complete the setup --- ## 💡 Technical Highlights - **Proxy Server Location**: The video emphasizes that the proxy server IP is usually a LAN IP, meaning users need to have a proxy service deployed within their local network environment - **Global Scope**: After configuration, all network operations performed on the Synology NAS will be routed through the proxy server - **Instant Effect**: Configuration takes effect immediately after clicking Apply, with no system restart required --- ## 🔧 Applicable Scenarios - Accessing overseas software repositories or update services - Synology Package Center app downloads are restricted - Difficulties pulling Docker images - Need to access network resources in specific regions - Unified management of all NAS network traffic --- ## 📚 Related Resources The video mentions a previous tutorial by the creator on "Configuring Proxy for Docker Containers." For users who only need to configure proxy for specific containers, that video offers more granular configuration options. --- ## ✅ Summary This is a highly practical Synology NAS basic configuration tutorial, especially suitable for: - Synology NAS beginners - Users experiencing network access issues - Users needing quick global proxy configuration The entire configuration process takes less than one minute, truly delivering on the promise of "guaranteed to teach successfully." --- ## 🏷️ SEO Keywords Synology NAS, DSM Settings, Global Proxy, Proxy Server Configuration, Network Settings, Synology Tutorial, NAS Beginner Guide, Synology Configuration, Network Proxy, Internet Access
