Hello,
When I first added a custom domain and Let's Encrypt cert to my DS418play for DSM remote access, I used the default ports 5000 and 5001, and on my RT2600ac I added port forwarding for 5000 to 5000 and 5001 to 5001. At the time I needed help via the Synology Forum and received the advice to set it up but was suggested to change the public port at that time which I didn't (because it took so long to get Let's Encrypt working). Now I am more comfortable with Port Forwarding and wanted to change the 5001 public port to something else. When I had the port forwarding set up 5001 to 5001 resolving my custom domain (ds.example.com) would work correctly, since I changed the public port, it doesn't resolve until I add the port (ds.example.com:1234).
I've restarted my router and my NAS, and am wondering if I should change it back to 5001 because it isn't that big of a security concern, or if I should keep it and suffer through, or does changing the port take a while to propagate? I changed it a little over 16 hours ago.
Thanks,
Josh
