Synology DSM does not provide a way for diagnostic tasks such as ping or traceroute, with an embedded SSH client these functions comes available. The GateOne SSH client offers other useful applications, such as bypassing a proxy, or if there is no VPN to the NAS and the firewall only allows port 443 (HTTPS) for the browser.

  1. Gateone needs Python 2.7.
    I have Python 2.7 installed, but GateOne still needs to install (again? other version?)
    Installing that Python version gives error on installing:
    Invalid file format. Please contact the package developer.

  2. GateOne is based on Python 2.7. DSM7 is based on Python3. Is there a way to create a virtual environment to still make GateOne to work in DSM7?
