You shouldn't be using port 80. The admin panel uses https, not http. That usually uses port 443. Port 80 won't work unless you enable http admin access in the NAS (which you SHOULDN'T).
So you could forward 443.
But If you have other devices that you might want to access remotely (including your router's admin page) you can pick a different port to forward. For example 54321. You'd configure 54321 as the secondary https port in system->services. Forward 54321 in the router. And access the admin page as https://vkoukoutis.ddns.net:54321/admin

Look at section 6.3 of your manual (IP & MAC Binding) to reserve an IP address. The manual is focused on ARP attacks, but the procedure also locks in the IP address for the NAS (or any other MAC address you assign). The MAC address for the NAS is shown on the network page of the web ui. Your router also shows it (as noted on page 27). It's quickest to bind the MAC address to the current IP address assigned to the NAS. If you don't do that, you will need to reboot the router for it to take effect.
Section 11.1 tells you how to forward ports. The manual is a bit sketchy, but usually you can define your own names for each service (e.g., plex, or transmission). Port triggering won't work for this.
