What ports to forward for Synology

[Anders]

Hi all

Found this on portforward for the ASUS Router.

Im not sure what all ports are for, but its a new article and the HP is genuine and good, so I guess its for the best Synology Performance.

Take a look, and do a lot of typing in the ASUS Firmware

Hi, you don't need to do any typing...

The NAS will setup all the rules for you, right from the DSM screen. Just give the wizard your router username and password, it will then automatically setup port forwarding rules depending which DSM features you are actually using.

Hope this helps.

Lets not forget that you only need to forward ports for services or functions your NAS is using.
example...
If your not running an ftp server then don't worry about forwarding port 23.

I think you mean port 20 and 21 for ftp. Port 23 is telnet.

yep I misstated the port for ftp but you get the point.
No need forward everything if your not using it.
As a best practice only expose what you need to & keep the rest secure.
