I am still in the learning process with Qnap.
For some time now, I have been getting numerous messages indicating to me that someone is trying to access my Qnap device.
See Message below ...
[Warning][QuFirewall] Notification from your device: WMS-NAS-SC
NAS Name: WMS-NAS-SC
Severity: Warning
Date/Time: 2021/09/21 15:09:02
App Name: QuFirewall
Category: Firewall Events
Message: [QuFirewall] In time of 2021-09-21 15:07:00 ~ 2021-09-21 15:09:01, the denied amount reach the set threshold: 30.
Is there some way for me to identify this attacher and block them?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Re: Warning (QuFirewall) Notification from your Device
UPNP was turned on so I turned it off.
Not sure how that affect my other devices.
Will let you know if Notifications stop.
IS there any documentation on QNAP security best practices?

Re: Warning (QuFirewall) Notification from your Device
uPnP enables devices to add their own port forwards ... a horrible security flaw .. (by design)
Without that enabled (or manual port forwards) no direct connection can be established to devices from WAN ..
That should always be disabled (no matter if there is a QNAP or not)

After turning off UPNP, I am still getting Warning (QuFirewall) Notification from your Device messages.
