Allow Synology NAS inspector to use QuickConnect system
candidate for implementing

Joe Pruett
Synology has a builtin tunneling system that allows you to access your NAS via URLs like mymachine.quickconnect.to. It does some magic to determine if you are on the local LAN or remote and redirects you to the local machine or via another URL like mymachine.us1.quickconnect.to. It appears to be a pretty direct tunnel equivalent to using 5001 on the LAN.I tried using the existing inspector with the us1.quickconnect style link and it didn't work, but the URL it referenced in the logs seemed to return valid data, so it may not be much work to get the inspector happy using that kind of URL. The work to cope with the full quickconnect redirect magic would take a bit more.

This feature would be very nice indeed. Since most of the time our clients don't all have static IP addresses, and those can sometimes cost. So Synology has a great free feature quickconnect that gives us a free DDNS feature that never changes.
