Just got my DS1618+ going. Local setup was a breeze, but I am completely stuck getting remote access to work. Honestly I never thought it would be this complicated.
Fair warning I am bad at this stuff and have no networking experience so please use small words and dumb everything down til even your three-year-old rolls his eyes.
Now I would like to map network drives to my two storage directories on a remote Win10 computer. This was easy on the local network. Why is it so hard to do remote? I have tried and so far have failed...
Appreciate any help anyone can provide!

- DSM access is set. I can remote-in from anywhere.
- SSL cert is done with Lets Encrypt on synology.me subdomain.
- DDNS is setup and showing as 'normal' from DSM
- I can get to my files on the DS File mobile app
- QuickConnect is setup

- Mapping drives with the synology.me credentials
- Setting up port forwarding (although I don't really know what I'm doing)
- Using NetDrive3, which looks entirely different than the instructions here: https://www.synology.com/en-us/know...w_to_access_files_on_Synology_NAS_with_WebDAV
- Connecting with WinSCP
