With Buffalo’s WebAccess, you can access your LinkStation from anywhere in the world with an
Internet connection. It’s easy to access your files, or share them with other people, wherever they
may be.
WebAccess
WebAccess is set up from within the
Configuration GUI. First, select ‘Web Access’,
and then ‘Service Setup’ from the menu on the
left.
To use Webaccess, set ‘Web Access Service’ to
Enable
.
You may enable SSL Encryption if desired.
Using ‘BuffaloNAS.com’ is recommended.
Otherwise, you’ll have to manage your own DNS
settings.
‘Auto-Configure Firewall’ is also recommended if your router supports UPnP (most do since 2001).
If you choose not to enable this, you must manually configure your router and firewall to forward
internal port 9000 to the Internet.
Choose a name for your BuffaloNAS account and a password (“key”). This name is the name that
will be used to access your LinkStation and to share with your friends. The password for this
protects other people from using it, so picking a strong password is recommended.
