DS220+ blocked ip question

[Ian]

My home network used 10.10.10.1 range but last night I received a blocked IP alert from my NAS saying 10 login in attempts over 5 minutes from IP 192.3.111.145.

Any idea what’s going on?

A couple of summers ago I received lots of similar warnings, one every 2 minutes, approximately, but it was from public IP's, from lots of different countries. All of them using users 'guest' or 'admin'.
Disable these users if you haven't done it yet.
I ended up paying for a VPN supplier to avoid it. Since then, I have had no more attemps like these.
Regards.

Glad to know you got it sorted, I will change my login name but as I’m on a home network I didn’t think a 192.xxx could access my network but I’m not that IT savvy

Make sure you disable UPnP on your router. Synology DS opens ports in the router which can be a security issue. May make it harder for you to access the NAS from the internet but it is more secure.

Thanks for the tip, I will make sure this is off and change the user names

IP 192.3.111.145 is a public IP, not private...
