Hello all, I'm a long time lurker that recently made an account. I had never needed to before as this site, in conjunction with good Googling, always led me to the right answers. This time, I'm just totally stumped. I have set up my firewall as attached, and this seems to be exactly the same (only the countries are different) as others who have no problems.
I am based in the UK but often access my NAS at work. I work for a multinational corporation, and the traffic is routed through Czech, German and Swiss servers at random. I had to therefore allow UK, Czechia, Switzerland and Germany and deny all others.
The problem is that my NAS can still be accessed from ANY country. I first tried to use a VPN on my mobile phone to access it and realised something was very wrong. I checked with online geolocators that I was being routed through (for example) Thailand, USA, Brazil etc. and could always access my NAS. I then asked friends in many countries (Malta, Argentina, South Africa, Spain etc.) if they could access it and they all could. They were not using VPNs, just their standard residential access.
Is there something I'm missing with this setup? I'm going crazy!
Thanks in advance.
