- tw04 5y agoThey have a reverse tunnel that you can enable for remote access, but you can disable it. https://kb.synology.com/en-global/SRM/help/SRM/NetworkCenter/internet_quickconnect_ddns?version= https://kb.synology.com/en-global/SRM/help/SRM/NetworkCenter... I personally like that because I can safely remotely access the routers I've deployed for others if I ever have a reason to. They just need to check a box to turn it on or off in the GUI. They also have an "experience improvement" program that sends home telemetry that can also be disabled. As far as I know there's no "phone home" that you can't turn off if you don't want it.
- aborsy 5y agoQuickConnect makes your NAS wide open to internet. It does so using UPnP or a relay station in a synology data center. Not only Stnology will likely have access to users data at the relay station (see change of certificate!), DSM login page will be open to anyone on internet (you can try random usernames on https://quickconnect.to/ https://quickconnect.to/ and connect to people’s NASes). Maybe for routers it’s different, but this service is not secure for NAS.
