I connect through a proxy at work and I have all of the settings I need to configure the QNAP TS-439 Pro but there does not appear to be any way to enter the proxy information. This is a big issue for me as most big companies use a proxy and this device is advertised for corporate environments. Without the proxy information I am unable to sync my time, install any QPKG, use the bit torrent client, or access my QNAP over the internet. How can I configure the proxy settings?

Hello,
Currently the support of entering a proxy server is not available. Thanks for your suggestion and we'll look into it when designing our future firmware.

Without proxy support this device is no better than any other corporate NAS device as the features that I had paid extra for can not be used without an internet connection. Is there no way to SSH into the device and change any of the linux config files to set up the proxy information? If not I guess I will just have to return this because I cannot justify the price of this device if I am not able to make use of any QPKG's.

I would like to second the need for proxy settings option for web connectivity. I too am behind a firewall that does not allow direct WWW access.

by **tj101** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 12:52 pm

Are there any workarounds that can be applied to enable WWW access?

Internet -> NAS ... or .... NAS -> Proxy/ReverseProxy -> Internet ?

No NTP server inside the corporate network? Commonly, Proxies allow Web access in first priority only - but not NTP.

Can be downloaded over any desktop PC browser...

Is your corporate proxy configured for BT, and are the required ports forwarded to the NAS accordingly?

Nothing to configure on the NAS end, routing and potentially port mapping must be done on the corporate infrastructure (firewalls, routers, ...). To reach a NAS on a corporate LAN, from the Internet? So set-up a Internet-reachable server outside of a secured DMZ... appears there is not much IT and IT security in your company.

Dear tj101,

Although the HTTP proxy is not equipped with QNAP Turbo NAS, but there is a plug-in package, called Squid, which can be installed on QNAP Turbo NAS. The detail of installation can be referred from the article below.

You can access the Internet behind a proxy using wget configuration file.

Login in SSH to you NAS
Edit the file /etc/wgetrc:
Code: Select all
http_proxy = http://proxyip:port use_proxy = on wait = 15

It give me the possibility to get qpkg from the WebUI

Qnap is realy slow on getting the Proxy update.
Why is is so hard to update the firmware so our NAS can connect to a proxy ?

Agreed that this product is severely lacking in something that would be considered a very basic function to access the internet from behind a corporate firewall. Without be able to access the internet using this device, it is no better than a tape backup.

Hi QNAP!

Was the proxy setting now available???

The latest firmware (3.5.0) contains a VSCAN implementation, but in a company network we cannot use this without proxy settings for updating the definitions!!!

PLEASE IMPLEMENT PROXY SETTINGS!!

Thanks, Jo!

Hi jo.strasser

Here is the Proxy server setting via command line for your reference. Current the proxy server is not in the main project list. Sorry about that.

Alex,

Sorry, you fully mised the question. These users are not seeking for a proxy installation on the NAS - they need the ability to automatically configure the usage of an outgoing proxy for the Internet connections, ie. to list QPKG, to get live updates, to have the Download Station using the Proxy for the tracker data, ...

Sorry about misunderstanding. The proxy client currently is not available on Turbo NAS.

You can download the virus code manually from the link on the AntiVirus page. If the NAS is the company property, please try to set a port forwarding manually for the NAS.
