Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide on how to install a GoDaddy SSL certificate on your Synology NAS, but it can be for any domain provider.
Before you start please make sure you have a compatible Synology model with DSM and that you have already purchased the SSL certificate from your domain provider. This is critical with the correct DSM it won’t work.
In an era where data privacy is paramount, securing your home or small business network storage is non-negotiable. Synology Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, running the intuitive DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, offer robust features for file sharing, backups, and media streaming. However, by default, they use self-signed certificates that trigger browser warnings and leave connections vulnerable. Enter SSL/TLS certificates from trusted authorities like GoDaddy—these provide encrypted, verified connections, ensuring your data stays safe from eavesdroppers.
This guide focuses on installing a GoDaddy SSL certificate on a Synology NAS running DSM 7 (the current standard as of late 2025). Whether you’re accessing your NAS remotely via a custom domain or just want to eliminate those pesky “Not Secure” alerts, follow these steps carefully. We’ll assume you have administrative access to your NAS and a GoDaddy account. If you’re on DSM 6, the process is similar but check Synology’s legacy docs for tweaks.
