DSM 7.1 provides built-in tools to make this configuration straightforward. The system supports SSL/TLS certificates and can manage them internally, including the option to automatically request certificates from Let’s Encrypt. This makes it easier for both home users and IT professionals to implement secure web access without needing in-depth knowledge of certificate management or network security protocols.
To enable HTTPS, you begin by logging into DSM through the local IP address or domain name using the default port (typically HTTP on port 5000). From the Control Panel, navigate to Network > DSM Settings, where you can enable HTTPS and specify the secure port (default: 5001). Once enabled, DSM can be accessed using https://[NAS IP or domain]:5001. While this secures the connection, browsers may still flag the connection as insecure unless a trusted SSL certificate is installed.
