Follow my step by step guide onĀ how to activate your synology.me DDNS on DSM 6.2.4

Log into your router and go to the Port Forwarding area. Select your NAS Local IP Address and port forwardĀ portĀ 8085 both TCP/UDP. Remember that every router has its own interface design. At the moment I am using aĀ TP-Link router. Follow the instructions in the image below:
STEP 7
š¢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guidesĀ forget to support my work, or justĀ ignoreĀ STEP 1. Iāve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I donāt run any ADS, I donāt require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I donāt collect IPs, emails, and I donāt have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also donāt have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. Itās something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.
STEP 8
Open your browser and type in https://yourname.synology.me:8085 and you will see the HTTPS / SSL certificate working correctly. From now on you can access your Youtube Downloader application over HTTPS from anywhere.
Note: You can use the same operation described above for all docker packages you have previously installed on your Synology NAS to access them via HTTPS/SSL.
Note: At STEP 4, instead of portĀ 8085Ā you can use the port of your choice, but remember to port forward it (correctly) in your router followingĀ STEP 6.
