I recently purchased a synology DS209 and am in the process of trying to set up the web server. I can currently access the admin interface at http://mydomain.com:5000 and the photo station at http://mydomain.com:808/photo as I created the additional port 808 for the web server and photo server. Problem occurs when I try to access http://mydomain.com to access my web server. Typing in http://mydomain.com:808 redirects my to http://mydomain.com. Just wondering how to go about having the dns point to the additional open port as my ISP blocks port 80. I've read up on Web Hop URL forwarding and am wondering if this is what I need, a Dyn DNS Pro account to set up the web hop for my custom dns service? Jimmy |

WebHops are fully available for Custom DNS zones as well. If you have Custom DNS, then you have all you need to use WebHops. It seems a little unfortunate that the web server redirects users to port 80 when they go to the URL http://mydomain.com:808. Is there a page configured for that URL at all? Must a subfolder (mydomain.com:808/subfolder) be specified? With a WebHop, you could for example achieve the following: So WebHop is probably not what I really need as I was hoping to have http://www.mydomain.com (:80) to http://www.mydomain.com:808...

That's not a problem at all. WebHops can redirect to whatever URL you specify, e.g. http://mydomain.com:808. There doesn't need to be any path/'folder' specified. |

However, you cannot use a WebHop to direct back to a different port on the same hostname. The redirect must be to a different hostname, there is no way around that. Good catch, I didn't even notice that the same hostname was given as both "source" and destination for the webhop.
