VPN
Virtual private network (VPN) offers secure connections to access network resources and services across a public network. VPN
oers a convenient solution for NAS users to build end-to-end encrypted tunnels to your Turbo NAS. The built-in VPN functions in
the Turbo NAS supports two dierent congurations: a client-to-site VPN, which allows clients to securely connect back to the NAS,
and a server-to-server VPN, which allows a Turbo NAS to connect to another Turbo NAS across a WAN. In the client-to-server VPN
conguration, employees or users can access enterprise IT resources remotely through their mobile devices such as smartphones
and tablets. Furthermore, they can also access websites that may be blocked in your network environment through the VPN service.

Squid: the popular web proxy server
The web proxy provides cache and connection control for internet services like HTTP, FTP. For companies that need a boost to web
response time and security, Squid can be leveraged to make your Turbo NAS a web proxy server to protect other devices in your
local network from internet attacks.
Caching: Improves response times and saves bandwidth required for web access by caching visited web content and other web resources.
Access control: blocks access to certain websites or restricts access for internet connections.
Logging: logs visits to web sites for generating statistics to aid in network management.
Load balancing: distributes the load to several web servers to accelerate service requests.

Case study for VPN + proxy services
Company X decided to open an overseas branch to expand its sales. In a fast-paced, competitive business environment, it is more important than ever
to keep your employees connected to the people and resources they work with every day. Hence, the management team of this company required
using networking technology to reach this goal.
The IT personnel of Company X found that a QNAP Turbo NAS is easy to set up and use. It not only provides everything needed for a data storage, but also
oers VPN and web proxy services for network access to employees in the main oce, as well as home and branch oces. Furthermore, the consumption
of bandwidth is minimized while improving the web access experience by using the web proxy function oered by Squid on the Turbo NAS.
Now, the employees of Company X enjoy secure, high-speed connectivity to the Internet and their business networks—both inside and outside the
oce to eciently retrieve product information as soon as it is announced. And the IT personnel rely on the scheduled backup from branch oces to
the main oce for peace of mind.

Qsync: A Powerful Utility for File
Synchronization in Business & Personal
Applications.
Public cloud files synchronization services such as
Dropbox can greatly increase the efficiency and
productivity of offices, but comes with certain
drawbacks:
1. Security: there is the possibility of data leaks and
interception of condential information.
2. Cost: the greater the size of your data storage needs,
the greater the cost of the service.
With QNAP's Qsync utility on Turbo NAS, IT administrators can create a Dropbox-like private cloud with a larger storage capacity to
fulll business needs. Any les added to the Qsync folder will be automatically accessible across multiple devices linked to the Turbo
NAS, and synchronized with different work groups flexibly and effortlessly. With no additional costs or storage limits, Qsync can
centralize les from dierent work groups and assist in teamwork on important projects anytime, anywhere.
7 reasons why you need Qsync
1. Cross-device synchronization
Qsync turns your Turbo NAS into a safe data center for les synchronization. Every le uploaded to the Qsync folder will be
made available to multiple devices including computers, laptops and mobile devices. When you are away on a business trip,
Qsync ensures that the most up-to-date les are accessible on all linked devices and reduces your need to rely on USB storage
to carry les and on emails to get the latest les.
