On another security note, let's briefly talk about user accounts and file share access. I disabled IPv6 for other reasons, so I personally didn't see the slow share access issue pop up.
SYNOLOGY VPN PLUS CONNECTION TIME OUT WINDOWS
I chose not to configure a VPN here.įinally, if you have slow SMB share access via a Windows client, check out this thread on the Synology forums. So be careful whether you want to use this VPN, or possibly a Docker Container with a VPN that is more robust (which I'll cover later). However, it does not have a 'kill' switch option, which prevents traffic leaks in case the VPN goes down. If you want your NAS to connect to the internet via a VPN, you can also configure that here as well.

Configuring this option creates Bond 1 in the network interface GUI. Balance-SLB was acting weird in my environment (some hosts randomly lost connectivity to the NAS), but Active/Backup has been rock solid. Don't bother with trying LACP (IEEE 802.3ad) with the GS116E, as it will NOT work. So for my situation I configured DSM networking for "Active/Backup", and connected both NICs to my switch. It supports LAG, but not dynamic load balancing. I have a single Netgear GS116E, which is a managed but very entry level switch. So if you are a Nutanix customer, the options presented will seem familiar. Underneath the covers it uses OpenVSwitch. Configuring networking in DSM is straight forward, but you do have a few options. All of these settings are in the Control Panel under Network.
