How to install Synology SSL VPN client?

Does Synology have a VPN client?

(like how you can VPN into a server in VMWare)?

I have a Synology NAS and I'd like to do something similar. Any ideas? I'm thinking that I would like to use a VPN client like the ones that they provide in Windows to connect to my home network and get internet access while on the road. I have a Synology NAS that I would like to use for the same purpose. Does anyone have any experience with this or know of any solutions?
I am pretty sure that there is no client for Synology, but you can use a client that has an interface for VMWare (there are a few out there). Oh, I didn't realize there were VMWare clients for Linux. I was just wondering if there was anything like that for Synology. There is no direct solution for Synology, but you can still use VMWare Workstation to get a GUI interface to your NAS, so you can access the NAS as if it was a Windows PC. Thank you for the info. Thanks for the info! That sounds interesting.
