is Quick Connect Secure for Synology?

Don't wanna use quickconnect, wanna use local IP but that only works for the DSM panel, not for rsync or FTP.

Thanks Will, very awesome, makes me more in peace after seeing this

Thanks!

So if my ISP has blocked port forwarding can I only use Quick connect to get access to my NAS externally?

2Factor Authentication is the next security step.

Do you have a tutorial video anywhere on how to disconnect quick connect and connect a different way? I would like to install tailscale but can't do that when on via quick connect?

Can anyone here please help me? When I enable the Quickconnect check box and then click continue when taken to my Synology account page, the Quickconnect ID field is greyed out, preventing me from typing in anything there. I've tried DDNS, but my router isn't automatically detected and I am having trouble with port forwarding as I don't know what I'm doing.

I am connected to my NAS directly using a static IP address. All I want to do is to setup Quickconnect, but it's not working for me at all.

HELP!! :)

Thanks!!!

Wasn't there an issue last year with ransomware attacks on Synologys?

Perhaps it arrived after this video was made, but I use two step authentification.

As secure something connected to the internet can be. you want your synology secure, don't open it on the internet. period.

Do you suggest to activate firewall of the nas itself? It works well?

Do you do consultations at all?

I use it with 2FA TOTP.

Asustor recently had a hack that involved their ez connect. While I am sure synology does their homework, if a hacker ever got into people systems on a wide scale they would make more money than they did with asustor. More $$$ means synology has a bigger target on their head. VPN is the method I am going.

I have one very quick question. So I have 4 different synology NAS units two at my home and two at my work. I use QuickConnect on all of them for remote access to DSM as well as file transfers. The issue I am facing is that QuickConnect file transfer speeds on three of them are seemingly capped for some reason at around 300KBs whereas the fourth unit is running at near full sustained network speed at my home which is around 1.2MBs. Is there a way I can get the other three units to speed up the transferring of files remotely or is this not possible?

Good analysis !

“Yes, but is less secure than no port forwarding at all” 🤯🤯

Combinated with 2FA hardware wallet is it a good option
