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?

Did you Google or ask chat gpt about risks of letting bad actors brute force or potentially use some zero day with some crazy url that can let them encrypt all your family pictures and other data? If you want to access from outside do that thru some reverse proxy like find proxy manager or traefik

No, I didn't, because I wanted to start up a conversation with real humans who are in the same situation as me... Or, you know, the entire purpose of Reddit.

why sky is blue? why water wet? Some things are better to research yourself before just asking questions
