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

...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?

HEY MAN,

Just go ahead and get hacked and learn, there’s literally no point in even asking if you lean toward not taking anything anyone says with a grain of salt.

Otherwise VPN or Cloudflare tunnel into the machine.
