Hi,
I have a TS231P and and which is connected to my LAN and I wish to give certain individuals access to photos via the web. I do have port forwarding done already.
Some good tutorials (newby) or help please.

Many thanks, have taken that in.
The only onesI am giving access to the NAS, will be my close family.
I have an Easy SSL Certificate on my Qnap Cloud address but would like one or it on my IP # as well.
Also if it makes it safer from hackers on the net, I would like a VPN on the NAS. I do have a VPN account for my phones where I can choose any country etc., but not sure how to set this up on the NAS.

You are going to run a VPN service on your network so your IP Vanish or whatever isn’t going to work here. Options are to use a VPN capable router, Open VPN on your NAS, a dedicated appliance or a diy installation on something like a Raspberry Pi.
I chose the last option for reasons of cost and flexibility and run piVpn with Wireguard on a 2Gb RPi 4.

Wo..
Took a look at the Rasberry Pi.
What a groovy little gadget !
Is there a tutorial I can follow to set it up for what I need as a VPN ?
Thanks for the head up on this.
