#FREE PORT FORWARDING CONFIG FREE#

Releasing port 80įirst things to know is that all the configuration files for Nginx (the web sever DSM uses) are automatically created on every change via the UI. Just a small note, the reason I wanted port 80 for myself is that I run Pi-Hole as one of my docker containers and as it’s providing ad blocking via DNS then it needed to receive requests on port 80 to provide empty content to replace those annoying adverts. I’m not going to lie, you will need to ssh into your Synology, change a few system files and even maybe pray to your favourite gods, but in the end I hope you can sit back, smile and feel rewarded that you have gained back the power of port 80 from DSM.

So, after many searches and failures I’ve come up with a solution that will free up port 80 for your own uses and does not destroy your Synology. If you are reading this post you probably already know that even though Synology DSM (disk station manager) by default uses ports 5000 (http) and 5001 (https) it still steals port 80 for it’s redirecting using Nginx.ĭSM ports can be changed (and is advisable) via the web UI.

(see: Running Pi-Hole inside Docker on Synology) I want port 80 back please This can also be combined with the Block Page PHP script if desired. Instead I have installed the Web Station package and allow that to serve the blank pages. UPDATE: I no longer use the method defined below.

So far everything has been easy to configure, launching docker containers a breeze and has generally been a great experience apart from 1 little thing. As I really wanted a NAS that would support docker containers I was drawn to the DS916+. My reliable ReadyNAS has been working flawlessly for the past 6 years and still going strong (if a little slow). Enter the Application Parameters to pass parameters to the application, like the remote address.I recently purchased a new NAS for my home network.To add an application, click on the folder icon, immediately to the right of the Run Application option. While any application can use the forwards configured using this feature, this allows you to invoke pre-configured programs from the console. Take Control also allows you to setup a specific app to be associated with a specific port forward.Not having the Enable box checked saves the port forward but you will need to activate it before use. For instance, if the Local port range is 5000-5100, with 1000 set as the remote port, Take Control forwards the local traffic to 1000-1099 on the remote computer. If you insert a port range in the Local Port, that range is forwarded to the remote computer starting from the port defined here. Take Control needs both the remote host and the remote port values in order to determine where to route local traffic. Remote Port – the remote service monitors this port for connections.If the service is on the machine hosting the Take Control sessions, use localhost or 127.0.0.1. Remote Host – the DNS or IP address where the remote service is located.Confirm that range is free on the local machine when using a port range. This is useful for Configure an FTP connection. It is also possible to insert a port range using the following syntax: startport-endport (i.e.

In order to avoid conflicts, use 0 and a free port is assigned automatically. The local port is the port belonging to the machine where the console is running.

Local Port – the local port number where Take Control console listens for incoming TCP connections that are forwarded to the remote network.

In the new window, there are three mandatory parameters:.

During a support session, click the Advanced Options menu icon and select Port Forward > New.
