Hello,brbrIn my country, we aren't offered a fixed IP for home internet, thus, connecting to my NAS through open VPN won't be possible?

Qnap is Qcrap

Mike, I've only recently discovered your channel Your tutorials are excellent - methodical, very clear instructions, and just the right pace Many thanks, especially regarding QNAP security which I now realised I certainly had not made as secure as I'd have liked Many thanks
Comment from : Ian

Really great video Mike Lots of info, and it's great that you acknowledge there are fringe cases that require less secure settings Older SONOS units do not like the higher SMB settings It also relies on DLNA :-(

Thank you so much for all valuable information

Thanks Mike

Hi Mike, thanks for the video If I disable the qnapcloud, will it disallow me to access my Qnap nas over the mobile network?
Comment from : Nafe AlDabbagh

QNAP is definitely not a "open it, fire it up, and use it" type of device because the OS has sooooooo many security holes A basic user (such as myself) needs to accept the fact that you need to roll up your sleeves, get in the weeds, and learn how to secure your NAS After being hit by Deadbolt and having to pay a ransom to decrypt and recover all of our business files, I am so thankful for this video Although we were scared to death of using our QNAP again, we knew the QNAP is critical to the success of our business and therefore we decided to move forward with using our QNAP again However, this time around, we wanted to take a much more thorough approach towards using our QNAP Mike's video makes our NAS security goals achievable Thanks for making this video Mike!

Hi Mike a further question on QVPN and OpenVPN I got mine working and I can connect using OpenVPN through my mobile phone over the mobile network I'm currently on holiday abroad (Spain) and I can still connect via the mobile network here with Vodafone My apartment has broadband with a local provider but I can't get a connection over the apartment broadband and router Is this an unusual issue and do I need to do something with the local router Many thanks again

Nice job of explaining how to make the NAS more secure Appreciate your time
Comment from : John Merryman

If I only use for plex can I shut off all ports except the plex port
Comment from : Joe Troiani

I learned so much about this tutorial My router has OpenVNP feature and I tried to get OpenVPN to work, but no luck I followed this your tutorial got it to work on the first shot Thanks for this tutorial videos By the way, I noticed you have Eufy Have you set it up to record to QNAP If you do, would you please make a tutorial video when you time?
Comment from : Steve N

Thanks for the video! For OpenVPN to work, should the port be forwarded? My router just has IPv6 host exposure… is that same as port forwarding? Can I use the same port numbers on ipv4 and ipv6?
Comment from : lambdaplus

First of all thanx for this fantastic video Security should be the number one when installing a nas Is there a way to play music of digital content via HDMI to your tv of wifi speakers within your LAN without activating the DNLA server ? Can Kodi or google chromecast help out there ?
Comment from : Kris Andries

In short: don't use qnap applications and use VPN Nahhhh c'mon! That can't be the solution I will use all multimedia and cloud funktions The basic answere is change ports, pay for Antivirus Lizens, use Firewall(s), doo backup and snapshots
Comment from : Frostwolf

Mike Faucher you disable myQnapcloud app, do you use alternative ddns service?
Comment from : ajdien78945d

Speaking as someone who has been looking into buying my first NAS and looking at both the QNAP and SYNOLOGY brands knowing all these vulnerabilities shouldn't I just go with a Synology since they clearly take security more seriously?
Comment from : Ultimate Anarchy

I have open NAS from Another PC by inputting Password, But Next time it is automatically opened without password, how can I Recall the previous openning process of NAS from the Same pc from which I opened it by inputting password
Comment from : satyajit chatterjee

Hi Mike, Great and understandable video, but i have a question according to The VPN connection ; If you have several Nas devices, must i setup an open VPN serverbr for every Nas or is one Nas enough when they are in the same home network ? Thanks for replying on this
Comment from : Kees Maassen

Tip: Never use default ports This goes for software firewalls too not just hardware devices Also, regarding TLS version, its fine stating "to be sure make sure you use the best versions" or such and such, but it fails in reality, because one size does not fit allWhat works for one won't be ok for others For eg, if someone needs access to shares from Windows XP system, you won't use the best TLS versions for Windows networking , because you won't be able to connect Ya, who users Windows XP anymore right ??brbrYou skipped over UPnp by the way :)
Comment from : Tech

Mike - disasterbrI followed your video, and got as far as changing IP Access list which I activated having been deactivated, now I cannot access the device at all The QFinder - and while it is seeing the NAS it cannot connect, only getting: brCannot connect to device Please check if the device and your computer are on the same subnetbrClick 'OK' to open the web browser and try to connect to device, or click 'Cancel' to returnbrbrAnyway I can get around this? brPS Using Macbook Air, so don't have a chordn connection
Comment from : Gerard Bolger

thanks a lot to the point video :)
Comment from : ALLTECH247INC

My qnap doesn't look anything like yours, or the others i've been seeing with tutorial videos online for that matter I don't have storage "and snapshots", and i don't have the option regarding QTS embedding There's other things i seem to be missing as well I'm sure i did the latest firmware update But mine seems simplified compared to others I can't seem to find any option to set quotes for specific user groups either, only individual users brbrHas qnap overhauled their design and simplified things, or is it just my version that is different?
Comment from : IntiArt Designs

You also didn't disable the default Admin account
Comment from : ecotts

You also missed out the OpenVPN client link
Comment from : ecotts

You left out QuFirewall!
Comment from : ecotts

Great videos, thanks!
Comment from : Michael Toub

I use PIA vpn can i use this account?
Comment from : Richard Recupero

Nice video I use a qnap as a plex server Is it a bad idea to use the admin account for daily use? Is it better to create a user account My qnap gives warning about it

Secure your QNAP: buy a synology
Comment from : TheDesertsweeper

I've got the open VPN connected to my Qnap NAS but still can't see the NAS files from either my mobile or PC did I miss something? Great video it's increased my NAS security a lot, thanks
Comment from : stickulari

You should also consider disabling admin account, to significantly increase brute force atack protection I know that Qnap working for option to change admin username, but as for now this is the best option
Comment from : Costena Lolek

Great video, Mike I have a couple of these devices deployed with clients and I had always left the Web Server activated because I assumed that's what the QTS desktop runs on but I will certainly disable it nowbrbrAfter the recent QNAP vulnerabilities and the Qlocker attacks, I'm definitely looking at how best to secure these devices I've only ever deployed them for file services (sync, share and backup), so I've avoided any exploits but QNAP are not entirely open and honest about how background services operate For example, they claimed that the HBS3 app had a vulnerability but I believe it was actually the RTRR server, which is used by HBS3 for NAS<-->NAS backup and sync jobs?brbrWill the QNAP client apps (Qsync, Qfile, Qmanager) operate reliably over an OpenVPN connection?brbrAlso, Since I would only want NAS traffic routed via the VPN and not all web traffic, can the OpenVPN profiles be easily configured to do this on Windows, Android and iOS?brbrThanks,
Comment from : David G

Upon logging in this evening QNAP presented me with an update for the MyQNAPcloud App I try to stay current on all Apps and Firmware so I dutifully updated the App But I checked and found the update also automatically switches the App to "Enabled" I disabled it per your recommendation But I'm letting you know that this might be another "hole" in the QNAP security design Many folks might not know the Apps/functions they disabled or switched "Off" for security reasons will be automatically enabled or switched back to "On" during an App update? Isn't this a bad update design ? Shouldn't the App/functions stay as originally set by the User during any App update? Or am I misunderstanding something here?brAlso perhaps you might think of covering "Snapshots" in a video as part of Security? I only keep pics and videos on my NAS so I'm not sure the Snapshot function is at all useful for me? And if I do start keeping Snapshots won't they eat up a lot of my storage space? It's a confusing topic for novice users
Comment from : Don Sylvester

Whoops forgot to ask what about the QuFirewall App? Should we be using that and if so how should we install/configure it? But first, with all the settings you've reviewed is it really needed??
Comment from : Don Sylvester

In response to the recent security-related events affecting the QNAP community, I decided to activate QVPN on my QNAP Turbo NAS TS-253D I have not used OpenVPN as suggested in your video, presumably as I am using both NAS LAN ports to employ port-trunking and QVPN Service gives me a relevant warning that the interfaces used by OpenVPN are not available and that I should ensure that each interface is not being used in a virtual switch Hence I have instead configured the VPN service via QBELT and installed QVPN App on a Windows Laptop PC & on my mobile device clients I have been able to establish a QBELT VPN connection to my NAS from both my PC & the mobile device However, I am unable to activate any application and keep receiving the following error message: br br“Limited access Established VPN connection; however, remote access to network device brfunctions are restricted” brCan you please help? brIordanis Pallikaras
Comment from : Iordanis Pallikaras

I love the QNAP hardware but not impressed with the OS I'm thinking of installing OpenMediaVault and Zerotier for private networking
Comment from : Mark Constable

I am interested in learning more about the open VPN on qnap NAS
Comment from : Michael Burey

Great video Mike! would love more Open VPN details (if possible including IOS)
Comment from : Christopher

Can you post a link for the security counselor, please
Comment from : Randolph Slaven

Yes, do some more about OpenVPN and make a video
Comment from : Michael FlamingSword

Hey Mike, You said you did not want to go through a third-party application with MyQnapCloud and their server But all VPN's and certainly OpenVPN is a third party application and uses another server or proxy server ;-)
