Bugs & Fixes: Making Synology's VPN private again

March 26, 2014

If you've been reading PCWorld Norway (you know you have) or scouring our own reports on the same subject, you know that many Internet devices such as routers and NAS boxes leave their data disturbingly easy to access.

Our VPN guide by Eric Geier could help, too.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
