Backing Up Photos to Synology NAS
Summary: To back up phone photos to a Synology NAS, connect both devices to your local network, install Synology Photos, create a new user with photo app permissions, and install the Synology Photos mobile app. Configure your VPN to allow local network connections by enabling split tunneling or similar settings, and disable the VPN kill switch for local connections. Insights:
- A NAS connected to your local network offers more privacy than cloud backups because it isn't directly accessible from the internet.
- VPNs can interfere with local network connections; allowing LAN access in VPN settings is crucial for backing up to a NAS over a local network.
- Allowing traffic to bypass the VPN introduces security risks, as your phone attempts to connect to your NAS on every network. Proper Nouns:
- Synology: A popular NAS brand known for usability and diverse apps.
- NAS (Network Attached Storage): A device for storing and sharing files within a local network.
- VPN (Virtual Private Network): A service that encrypts internet traffic and masks your IP address. Research
