    Another HTTPS thread

    It's been a while. But I did get SSL working correctly and not too complex. Basically do this: Create Certificate Signing Request in the NAS Fill out stuff and get the server.csr and server.key - save it. (I used a 2048 key length) Get a domain name or sub domain the certificate will use...

    Dumb remote security question

    The two factor authentication sounds interesting for a small NAS. I didn't think this was possible on a NAS. How can do this on a Synology for example? -> Just point me in the right direction please. thanks!

    Dumb remote security question

    Thanks for the posts! It seems it not as simple as having SSL and a long/strong/ugly username & password - for leaving company data available 24/7 using the same port. Paranoid wins this time :)

    Dumb remote security question

    Hi all. I got SSL working and the domain with SSL points to my Synology DDNS. Right now I'm only using WebDAV with a secure connection ( very high & obscure port number forwarded) and that account has limited access. The dumb question is can I be comfortable with HTTPS port 5001 wide open...

    NAS backup enclosure

    Thanks for the post! I understand about your trial and error. But I can't afford to keep buying enclosures until I find one that works. So I was hoping to find someone that works in a computer repair store that tried many devices. Did you say your Seagate USB3 enclosure allows drive...

    NAS backup enclosure

    Hi all. I've been searching for a good HDD enclosure for backing up my NAS for a long time. Nothing found. Is there any USB enclosure that has built-in hibernation/sleep (and S.M.A.R.T. testing is nice) ? Then I can just leave it on in power-save mode and accept backups when scheduled...

    USB drive sleep basics

    Hi. Thanks for the post! Please give the list of enclosures w/drives that spin-down. Asia brands are OK - I happen to live in Singapore :). I also checked the Synology list of compatible enclosures, but that list seems outdated and very small. EDIT: Found this link. Helps a little...

    USB drive sleep basics

    Hi all. I have a DS414 and I need a backup device. All my old external drives/enclosures never go in sleep/hibernation mode after a few mins of no activity. Simple Power On/Power Off. MS Windows and NAS/Linux support USB drive sleeping. But how to set this when the drive is too dumb to...

    Another HTTPS thread

    Thanks for the post! I'll carefully read the suggested tutorials. For now I disabled WebDAV until I get my head around certificate management and get this done correctly. For the access to WebDAV (Synology), that's under Control Panel / User / Edit (user) / Applications Now only the...

    Another HTTPS thread

    Hi all. I'm trying to connect my windows explorer with the DSM WebDAV service. I only used a secure WebDAV port (forwarded the port on the router) and added a DDNS domain name. I got NetDrive to work connecting to: https://myname.synology.me:5006 The problem is there is no...

    Port safety basics

    Thanks for the post! I tried Shields Up. No problems found. So if I don't open or forward ports myself - then all others should be safely closed/sealed? Yes. If I must open or forward any port, only use HTTPS with a certificate or SFTP, etc. I still have the IP blacklist. But...

    Port safety basics

    Hi all. It seems I don't understand this as well as I thought. I also got a IP Black List (already did lots of malware scans) which got me paranoid who is looking at my NAS. What I'm trying to do is make sure ALL ports are properly closed/sealed on my router - including port 25. Only...

    Good use for an old NAS

    Thanks for the post! But how to keep your Airnet away from Internet threats? (even if there is no direct Internet access) I'm guessing the firmware & OS wasn't updated for a long time and may be vulnerable to new attacks.

    Good use for an old NAS

    Hi all. I had a (not so old) DS413 that physically died and I'm getting a new NAS. After a get the DS413 RMA, what is a good use for it after a bigger (should be better) NAS comes? I want to use the RMAed DS413 as local storage drive that's 100% offline, usually turned off, and safe from...

    How to check if my n66u is sending SPAM

    Again thanks for the help guys, even though this thread is loosely related to the n66u. People seem confident that if the malware & virus scanners can not find anything, my PC should be clean. I'm guessing the guys that are making trouble have at one time used every IP in the pool and there is...

    How to check if my n66u is sending SPAM

    Here you go: from http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check What I can't do is use many Forums - the Admins told me I my IP is blacklisted. Luckily I don't have trouble on this Forum. Thanks for the help! -->The screenshot

    How to check if my n66u is sending SPAM

    Yes, I am 100% sure I'm malware free - so the scanners say. I also have WPA2-AES with a very secure password. Actually, I'm more worried about the millions of anonymous attacks coming from the DSL line than the granny next door hacking my wifi wireless connection. Maybe I need to log...

    How to check if my n66u is sending SPAM

    Hi all. I got blacklisted in a few places. Maybe because my PC is sending out SPAM (educated guess). How to check if there is some virus sending out emails? Currently I have no SMTP installed and I only use online Hotmail & Gmail. I also did a full malware check, virus check, defender...

    N66u LAN speed

    This seems more difficult to answer than I though. Anyway, I DID see "spikes" up to around 90MB/s using a SSD drive. So It's at least near possible.
