How to SSH into Synology NAS Using Videotron Helix Router – Remote Access Setup for Home Users
If you're a Videotron user with a Synology NAS at home, setting up secure remote access through SSH allows you to manage your device from anywhere. This guide will walk you through the key steps using your Helix router. Enable SSH on Your Synology NAS Log into DSM and go to Control Panel > Terminal & SNMP. Enable SSH and choose a custom port if you want extra security. Apply the settings and make note of the port number. Log into the Helix Router Interface Use your browser to access the Helix router’s web interface. From there, navigate to the port forwarding section, often listed under Advanced Settings or Network Settings. Set Up Port Forwarding Create a new port forwarding rule that routes external traffic on your chosen SSH port to your Synology NAS. Be sure to match the internal port with the one configured on the NAS. Test the SSH Connection From an external network (like mobile data), use a terminal or SSH client to connect to your public IP address using the defined port. This confirms that remote access is working correctly. Secure Your SSH Access For added protection, use SSH key authentication, disable password login, and restrict access by IP if possible. Always keep your NAS and router firmware up to date. By following these steps, Videotron users can safely SSH into Synology NAS and maintain full control of their system remotely, whether for backups, server tasks, or general file management.Flash Survey: Is night mode your jam?
The dark mode (or night mode) minimizes the white and bright colors of your mobile application interfaces to save your device battery and rest your eyes. This seems to be the new trendy mobile feature: Messenger and even the Android settings menus now offer this option. And you, are you a night mode user, or do you prefer the applications in their original colors?

Unable to call toll-free 1-800 numbers
Anyone else having trouble calling toll-free 1-800 numbers? I can call through another provider with no issue but cannot through my Videotron line. It's not just my phone either. I brought this up with Technical Support and the feedback was given the COVID-19 situation, the congestion is greater so try again later or use the other provider that works. :smileyfrustrated:
