Everything you need
One drive, everything your NAS can do
RocketZero handles the cases that trip up other remote-access tools — no public IP, no open ports, no setup on every device.
No open ports
Nothing exposed on your router. Your DSM stays off the public internet.
Works behind CGNAT
No public IP from your ISP? RocketZero still connects — no port forwarding.
Full web UI in a browser
Your photo gallery and the full NAS admin interface, from anywhere.
Direct P2P, encrypted
A peer-to-peer link when possible; an encrypted relay keeps working when it isn’t.
Your own free domain
A real HTTPS address like home-nas.roze.to — no IP addresses, no DDNS.
Private by design
Your NAS stays private
No open ports
Your NAS never needs inbound ports exposed to the internet. Nothing to forward on your router, and no NAS ports left open to the internet.
Encrypted connections
Traffic is encrypted between your device and your NAS — including when a relay is required.
Direct when possible
A peer-to-peer connection is used when possible; the relay only handles traffic when a direct connection isn’t available.
How it compares
Why RocketZero, not the usual options
QuickConnect, a VPN, or DDNS with port forwarding each solve part of this. RocketZero is built for one job — your NAS as a drive — and does all of it.

Under the hood
How it works
Install once. Your NAS dials out over an encrypted tunnel — no ports, no DDNS, no static IP — and your device connects straight to it peer-to-peer when possible, or through the relay when a direct link isn’t available.

Frequently asked questions
Which NAS does it support?
Synology (DSM), OpenMediaVault and TrueNAS SCALE. Each has a step-by-step guide: Synology, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS. On Synology, just pick the package that matches your CPU (Intel/AMD or ARM) and install it from Package Center.
How is it different from QuickConnect?
QuickConnect lets you browse files in a web browser or app; RocketZero mounts your NAS as a real drive on your machine, so you can open, edit and save files directly. RocketZero also gets you your own address like <your-name>.roze.to with HTTPS built in. See the detailed comparison.
Do I need to open ports on my router?
No. RocketZero doesn’t need any open ports on your router or NAS, so your DSM interface stays off the internet. Everything is encrypted.
How many computers can I use it on?
Your NAS is what gets activated — no license keys to manage. Install the app on as many of your own computers as you like and sign in to that same NAS; there’s no machine limit.
How do I get started?
Download the app and the NAS package — that’s it. No account or license key required to get started.
Does it cost anything?
RocketZero has a free plan — install it and your NAS mounts as a drive, no subscription to buy. Optional Pro features may come later for users who need more.
Does RocketZero work behind CGNAT?
Yes. Many home and mobile connections sit behind carrier-grade NAT with no public IP, so port forwarding and DDNS simply can’t work. RocketZero connects out from your NAS and meets your computer through our relay, so it works even without a public IP — no router or ISP changes needed.
Where is my NAS password stored?
On your own computer, in your operating system’s secure store — the Keychain on macOS and DPAPI (per-account encryption) on Windows — never in plain text. It’s used to sign in to your NAS so drives reconnect automatically. Your NAS password is verified directly by your NAS and is never sent to RocketZero’s servers.
