Check your Control panel/Security/Account .... Allow/Block list
when you have single or more IPs here in past 30 days something is wrong in your setup of:
- router firewall
- opened ports in router
- router IPS (if any)
- DSM Auto block configuration (Auto block must be enabled, max. 2 Login attempts, max. size of minutes within)
- you or your users frequently forgetting your usr/psw

Then it's a time to check it, because dark power is watching you.
 
I have lot of public services running in my NAS farm. Also I have public fixed addresses. Till May it was 20-50/ daily blocked IPs by my NAS.
But from May when I was changed the network topology I have zero attempts from external IPs to be written in my NAS Block list.
 
I generally have SRM's Threat Prevention blocking scans and various perceived threats. Sometimes I add a specific SRM FW deny rule for the class B subnet and monitor it for a while and later add just that IP to the block list if they come back again.

On DSM I don't get any automatic blocked IPs. I changed the default ports and don't allow SSH login from the Internet. For inbound Mail Server I've an SRM FW rule to permit forwarded mail from my email service and a second rule to block from everywhere else (in case the NAT rule enables forwarding from anywhere).

I use DSM FW but mostly SRM's since migrating from Apple Airport's 'everyone or no-one' approach to port forwarding.

That's one way I suppose. For now, I just have a literally empty index.html file. As in NOTHING in it.
