Hi,
I have a Synology DS920+ where it's routing all the network via Nord VPN in the network settings on the Synology NAS itself. This works as intended when I login to the NAS as an admin user. I want to have another user (without admin privileges) to download things to the NAS via Download station. When I get that user to add things to the Download station, my iOS download station client (DSLoad Station) is not detecting VPN as active. VPN is detected fine if I use the same iOS client DSLoad Station with my admin profile.
Do Synology NAS devices have VPN setup per user profile? Is this the reason my non admin account Is not able to use VPN? Or does Synology still route all the traffic via VPN and my non admin user client simply does not have privileges to see that it is behind a VPN?
I could not find any article advising if VPN is only enabled for admin users/all users/enabled and needs configuring for each individual user. Thank you, I hope this makes sense.
Kind regards,
Mario
