This basically means login with the username “admin” to some IP address on the local network specifying a port, 22 in this example.Īssuming you’ve logged in, run netstat along with grep to filter the results. For example, you’d type something like this into your terminal.

It’s easily findable on your search engine of choice, but the basics are that you need to enable it and know the IP address of your Synology. I won’t go into much detail on how to do that here. To find the ports that are being used on your Synology, we’ll need to log into it via the terminal. The web interface is something you’ll need to track down on your own though because it doesn’t show up in the list of icons we just used to find Plex. It’s a useful app that provides a way to “capture network traffic, and has a web interface that serves up reports of statistics,” according to its homepage. How else might you find what the URL for Plex was if this didn’t exist? Figuring this out will help find apps that don’t show up in this menu.Īn example of an app that doesn’t show up in this icon list is DarkStat. My assumption is that some apps are written to pass information back to Synology to allow this, but some aren’t.

This shortcut does work for some apps and not for others. I did not say all web apps running on your Synology though, and that’s why the rest of this post exists. Take note of that port number in the URL, 32400, I’ll reference that again in a bit.Įach of the icons shown is a clickable link to a web app running on the Synology. The short cut to get to installed apps clickable URLs.Ĭlicking on the Plex icon takes me to, a URL on my local network.
