Hi there - I have a DS918+ NAS and a RT2600ac router set-up at home and have been using for a few years now. I set-up quickconnect when I got the devices on the NAS and router, and also DDNS on the router, however I am not sure I fully understand the set-up. I generally use IP addresses at home across the LAN and quickconnect when I am out, to access things like DS photos and Drive via the various apps. I use quickconnect on the router, again so I can use DS router app on my phone. I also realised had DDNS enabled on the router, but I was not using it.
Is quickconnect actually a good solution for a home user? Is it safe, encrypted etc? I use firefox and force HTTPS however I don't think it makes that connection encrypted, but I am not sure about this. I have also never changed my quickconnect ID, should this ever be changed on a regular basis?
I am aware there is a VPN server app on the router that I could use, but when I briefly looked at the package it seemed very complicated to a home user. If I was to get it working, how would it help me access my NAS and mobile apps etc?
Is there a more secure but also practical way for me to set-up my home NAS and router?
Any thoughts or comments helpful. Thanks for reading.
