Can someone please explain to me, a casual home user, why it's dangerous to expose my NAS login page to the internet?... - eviltoast

…without snark or jumping down my throat. I genuinely want to know why it’s so unsafe.

I’m running a Synology DS920+, with my DSM login exposed through a Cloudflare tunnel. I have 2FA enabled, Synology firewall enabled with these rules in place. I also have this IP blocklist enabled.

After all of this, how would someone be able to break in via the DSM login?

    Cloudflare is just as secure and way more convenient. Possibly even more secure since that VPN is opening a port into your home where as cloudflare is not.
