Ha. I think I'm having flashbacks to when you walked me thru all this.You can post it here. It‘s not going to be a security threat. It’s internal and in every home/office.
Your youtube guy is wrong, or at least he's wrong if you follow the setup as described by WST16. I have a couple extra rules to allow services outside of what WST16 is discussing, but I don't have anything listed for Management UI. WST16 got me up and running and I haven't had any firewall issues.Watching a youtube video a guy said you have to allow Management UI otherwise you lock yourself out.
“Same, same but different“Ha. I think I'm having flashbacks to when you walked me thru all this.
Please goAre you refering to the NAS IP and subnet I entered into the firewall rule?
Watching a youtube video a guy said you have to allow Management UI otherwise you lock yourself out.
The video i watched was the one Telos posted on the previous page. You have surveillance station allowed which shows for me under the same group as Management UIYour youtube guy is wrong, or at least he's wrong if you follow the setup as described by WST16.

edit: in fact, I have accidentally enabled/disabled a rule that would actually lock me out of the firewall and DSM has come back with a warning saying that doing so would lock me out. It does watch out for you I think.

I added that rule well after I had WST16's rules set up. Everything worked without it. I only added it because I decided to set up surveillance cameras and wanted to run them on Surveillance Station. If you follow WST16's rules, you will still be able to access your NAS.The video i watched was the one Telos posted on the previous page.

Ok I did exactly what you said. Now does this not still allow anyone with a Canadian IP to gain access?Do exactly like the thread below for the first rule (to be at the top of the list) but replace the subnet in the thread with your subnet (192.168.1.0). So instead of 192.168.10.0 in the thread, you’ll have 192.168.1.0.
Again, have it as the first rule.
Keep “Canada” and Deny all. So keep the last two and add the one above as the first rule. Remove the rest.
You should end up with three rules (as described somewhere above).
Please help me understand making my NAS secure.
Yes, it will not block Canadian IP addresses. If you keep reading through NAS Newbie’s thread you’ll find other solutions that will enhance the basic firewall rules that you created. Please go through it.Now does this not still allow anyone with a Canadian IP to gain access?
These days, the internet is extremely hostile. The accepted wisdom is not to do any of what you are discussing. Turn off UPnP and close all ports on your gateway firewall, VPN IN/OUT of your LAN. Its the only way to be sure.I use quickconnect to access my NAS, I Synology drive and Active backup for business to backup my pc, I use DS cloud and DS flie to backup my android phone.
I am not using my firewall and have a few questions.
1. Should I use the firewall and will this affect the apps I use?
2.Can the Firewall be used with Quickconnect?
3.Is quickconnect a safe way of logging in?
I am using the default port, should I change the port? Can the port be changed with using quickconnect?
Thank you
I mitigate the risks as much as I can, accept them and make an informed decision about what I’m doing. I don’t want to cripple the usefulness of my DiskStations.These days, the internet is extremely hostile. The accepted wisdom is not to do any of what you are discussing.
