How to log in remotely if my NAS is rebooted and all my drives encrypted?
Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2021 11:13 pm
I'm pretty new to NAS'es but trying to figure out how to do this.
I've got a TS-431P with three HDDs, all of which are encrypted. It works well enough when I have it connected to my local network, but my plan is to set it up at a different location and I'm trying to figure out how I can log in to it remotely...?
As far as I can see, several people recommend using MyQnapCloud, and I have installed this and set it up to work. However, I can't understand how I will be able to log in to the NAS, if for example there is a power loss and the device is rebooted at the remote place where I cannot physically get to it?
As the drives are all encrypted, I will need to log in and unlock them... but if the MyQnapCloud is not starting because it's on the encrypted drive.... then how can I access it?
There must be something I'm missing here?
