Oh my Lord, no, just no this is how not to access your NAS externely. Opening ports can = security risks. Most secure way is to use the built in VPN or Tailscale, the latter requires no ports and can be set up in minutes. Keep your ports closed.

Unfortunately, I am not extremely savvy and right now I'm missing the portion about entering the port information at 1:33, where do I get the port information from?. If you could explain this a little bit better I would be very happy.

I see several comments from people trying to sell vpns and they're not telling you that vpns are very hackable all of them.

Hey synology I need help with my 920+ please I have 31Tb of media tv shows I need to transfer to my pc as I stuffed my nas’s storage pool and volume. How do I transfer my files to my pc please?

This open ports scaring advise is valid if no robust access control is not enforced properly. To access ANY device from exterior at least an open port is required to allow this service and any type of access can be hacked under certain circumstances. Nevertheless this video from Synology is half of the story and by itself is a very insecure way to expose a NAS to internet because more actions are required to securing the NAS, otherwise if anybody wants a secure device (any device) well do not connect to the internet, because if you are conencting to the internet you are at risk. Is like that if you dont want to have a car accident well do not use or get into a car. So to expose a NAS configure strong auto block, use non standard usernames and very strong passwords, open only necessary port, fine tune firewall, and get 2FA for all users and monitor your traffic, then only the NSA or Mossad guys would hack your NAS.

Please don't do this! And even if: set up proper firewall rules, use two factor authentication, don't use the default port 5000.

Instead use a free VPN like tailscale. Its free (for a couple users), just a few clicks to set it up and dosn't open your home network to the internet.
Please correct me if Im wrong.

even Synology knows this is such a bad advice they cant even narrate the video with a Human.
