nas download station vpn If you have a docker option may I suggest a simple solution. Run another light resource DSM inside docker (DDSM). In that docker setup your Download station and configure it as a VPN client to your 3rd party VPN provider. The entire DDSM will be inside the tunnel, leaving your main DSM (bare metal) free of any vpn traffic. DDSM will use about 200MB of ram at best with DS inside it. Also your can configure this im matter of minutes without 2 much trouble. Another benefit of this setup is that you can use that DDMS internal IP address as a gateway for any other network device (computer, phone etc) and get them inside a tunnel as well without using any 3rd party or native VPN solutions on them. I have this setup and use it all the time and works like a dream. Again, just an idea.
