It's a VPN so you'll need to establish the VPN connection to your Synology first (open the tailscale app on the mobile) then connect to your MinimServer configuration page and once you've made the changes shut the tailscale app down, otherwise all your traffic will be going via the Synology.

Tailscale doesn't require you to open any ports so is more secure.

Tailscale looks promising. The package installed ok on my Synology DS214play but won’t allow a logon. The intel architecture of this NAS is probably source of problem, despite there being an apparently suitable stable installation package.Will try to get a resolution from Tailscale.
In mean time will try to set up a simple Linux-based server next week, accessing it with Tailscale.
