Description
I have installed VPN Server inside my Synology NAS.
I have configured the openVPN option and downloaded the configuration profile.
I installed the openVPN client on MacOS, and imported the profile.
I have access to the NAS remotely.
So far so good.
As I need other people to access that NAS server, I would like to see them in a sort of local network. This is how it used to work with ZeroTier or TailScale. But in the new Synology DSM update, I can't install third party packages.
The thing is, I need please help me to see from my computer to the rest of the people connected to the same network. I use an App called "LanScan", but MacOS does not recognise some network interface used by the openVPN client.
There is an option inside the VPN server that I have installed on the NAS that says: "Allow clients to access the server's LAN". But I don't know what more steps I need to do.
I hope I have explained myself well. Best regards and thanks.
