Is it safe to use a NAS device outside the home?
On many NAS devices, there is an option to allow your media to be accessible outside of your home network. Whilst this is a great feature to have, it does leave your NAS device open for attack.

Are there any security features for NAS devices?
When it comes to security breaches, NAS devices are way behind cloud storage. That’s not surprising, given that you can limit the access to your NAS device by closing ports or whitelisting only a few connections. Most NAS devices have network backup, firewalls, DoS protection, and other security features.
Can a NAS be connected to a VPN Server?
If your NAS can run a VPN server, you can use this when away from home to access your device securely. When you connect to the VPN, you’ll have access to your local area network (LAN). This means you only have to open up a port on your router for the VPN, greatly reducing the attack surface for your NAS.
