You cannot connect to the Synology webserver through quickconnect (as far as I understand it).

You need to setup portforwarding in your router (and optionally a DDNS service).

See this: https://www.synology.com/en-global/k...r_the_Internet

Report back if you have more questions.
Thank you for you reply. I was familiar with the document url you sent me, and I proceeded as instructed in it. I also think this probably is a Synology "problem", but because so many people on this forum have been successful in installing COPS I was hoping to receive some specific advice based on what they did. If one cannot connect to COPS web server from a remote connection over the internet via quick connect, how is it done then? I tried to connect to the "IP address/cops" but that results in a redirection to my router web interface! I tried port forwarding port 80,8080,443 in various combinations and permutations but the result is always the same, turning the router and Synology firewalls off just to test the outcome did not help either. So fundamentally the question is how do people access COPS on Synology remotely, using a web browser? What url do they use?
Thanks again for any help you can offer.
