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...

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!

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 :)

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...

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...

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...

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 I also checked the Synology list of compatible enclosures, but that list seems outdated and very small.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...

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...

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...

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...

YES. Disabled and not used for any reason.

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...

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...

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.

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...
