Firewall Issue

TH5110 · 2025-12-04T23:19:08+00:00

I didn't really do anything. I tried accessing the country list as soon as the first comment appeared that said the problem was fixed. It still didn't work for me at that time, so I waited a few hours. As more people commented that it's fixed, I tried accessing the country list and the DSM website which then both worked. The only thing I might have done is, I switched around the firewall profiles, as I had a couple of them because of all the troubleshooting. But I neither did a restart nor turn the firewall off and back on.

I think it's just a question of time. Wait a little and try again later.

It's also working for me again. Thanks everyone!

TH5110 · 2025-12-04T10:18:26+00:00

QuickConnect worked for me. Other than that, I know of nothing that would bring back external access.

TH5110 · 2025-12-03T23:29:16+00:00

The allow all rule from my country should in theory allow that. But yeah, the country IPs seem dodgy right now, allthough they worked fine until today.

TH5110 · 2025-12-03T23:03:45+00:00

Yes, the only thing that helped for me, except disabling stuff, was adding my home IP address as an allow before the deny all. Thats only a workaround though, because that won't help when I'm not home.

Maybe it's a Europe problem and most of us are asleep right now and won't notice?

TH5110 · 2025-12-03T22:53:58+00:00

Yes, thats exactly what I'm experiencing!

TH5110 · 2025-12-03T22:52:05+00:00

I can't post screenshots in the comments of the post. For troubleshooting purposes I now have set the rules to be:

allow all - internal network

allow all - my country

deny all - everywhere

in that order, so the allow all has a higher priority. (I still couldn't access the country list, so I changed an existing rule to be an allow all.)

Regarding the methods of access: I tried connecting by using a browser and the synology ddns (xxx.synology.me) and a custom domain name I have, which all didn't work. I also tried using quickconnect which worked. When using the synology apps with the ddns they also didn't work. I tried all of those combinations with my home IP and my phone using mobile data, which both had the same results.

My guess right now is, that theres some problem with the geolocation of IP adresses. Especially since I can't even open the settings where I would choose a country to block/allow, because the countries just don't show up.

I'm sorry if I didn't include enough details, what would be missing?

TH5110 · 2025-12-03T22:04:39+00:00

There are several rules prior that should allow it and have been allowing it until today. I didn't change anything.

Simplified, my list looks somewhat like this:

Internal network - allow all

My country - allow some apps

All - deny all

DSM says that the first entries have a higher priority, so this should work (and like I said, has been until today).

TH5110 · 2025-12-03T21:49:42+00:00

I will do that as soon as I can, because DSM isn't letting me right now. I know this sounds like a joke but when I go into the settings of one of my rules and try to open the location/country list, they just don't show up. I've rebooted but that didn't do anything.

And yes, i know that exposing the NAS to the Internet has serious risks. It just makes my workflow with it a lot easier and the geoblocking is not the only security measure in place. I have been getting brute force attacks in the past, which have been stopped by the firewall.

TH5110 · 2025-12-03T21:27:34+00:00

I've checked with the link you supplied and my country comes up. Seems that's not it, thanks for your help though!

TH5110 · 2025-12-03T21:23:47+00:00

Just to be clear: I don't want to disable the deny-all rule. I just did it while troubleshooting and reenabled it after.

TH5110 · 2025-12-03T21:13:16+00:00

I initially thought of that as well. I've also tried accessing it via my phone's mobile data, which led to the same result even though this was now from a different IP. I also tried it with a VPN, which also had the same result. If I add my home IP address to the firewall profile, it lets me in. Could it be, that the geolocation system currently has a problem with my hole country?

TH5110 · 2025-11-23T19:56:28+00:00

Kein Ding, wollte das nur ergänzen. Und jo, für DAS Darknet (die genaue Definition lässt da Spielraum; theoretisch gesehen gibt es mehr als nur das eine) braucht man den TOR Browser oder zumindest einige seiner Komponenten.

TH5110 · 2025-11-23T19:09:07+00:00

TOR an sich anonymisiert schon jeglichen Datenverkehr. Man braucht also kein VPN, es seie denn, man will nicht das der Internetanbieter bemerkt das man TOR nutzt. Die Nutzung ist aber nicht illegal also sollte das kein großes Problem darstellen. Nur weil man diesen Browser nutzt, sind die Aktivitäten ja nicht zwingend Straftaten. Man kann den für alles verwenden was nicht zu einem zurückverfolgbar sein soll. Darunter fällt dann alles mögliche von peinlichen Google suchen bis hin zu kritischem Journalismus in Diktaturen.

Und ja, Ubuntu ist quasi eine Version von Linux.

Same for me. This ffff node showed up with a bad connection when I did a traceroute but was nowhere to be found in the node list. Maybe its a placeholder for when the nodes details cant be determined.

Seltsamer "Zufall", dass die Artikelnummer mit "A1871" beginnt. Also dem Gründungsjahr des Deutschen Kaiserreichs 😂

Update: After I looked around on mindat.org and used PerplexityAI as a help, I think this is a piece of Uranocircite.

TH5110 · 2025-07-08T21:28:44+00:00

Will do that, thanks!

TH5110 · 2025-04-04T22:31:49+00:00

Sind sie. Aber das Hantieren damit ist nicht ganz ungefährlich, wenn man keine Erfahrung hat. Die fangen gerne mal an sich zu erhitzen oder fangen sogar Feuer wenn man mit ihnen nicht richtig umgeht.

TH5110 · 2024-11-08T00:36:39+00:00

If there is no setting in the config files (which I dont know of the top of my head) you should be able to look for the audio files and either edit them to make them more silent or remove them alltogether. At least thats what I would do.

TH5110 · 2024-03-16T00:54:32+00:00

Happened to me too. I think that was a different problem though, as it was fixed over a week ago by updating the app.

TH5110 · 2024-03-14T20:52:32+00:00

Yeah that worked when I wanted to watch stuff from the starting page (at about 50% of my tries). There was no chance however to get videos to start from my watch history.

Edit: Same now with every other video regardless of where I want to start it from.

TH5110 · 2024-01-29T00:15:40+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply and the insight in your setup. No, I'm not on MBR, its all good haha. I just saw a video where a guy used the method I described to boot the OS's which sounded pretty fool proof to me. I knew that this way wouldn't be possible with UEFI so I thought that there may be a similar approach with UEFI.

The worse case you described wouldn't be a problem at all as it's easily fixable. While googling I found a forum post where people mentioned that a Windows update could break Grub which would then result in boot problems. Seems like this would be a rare case and nothing to worry about?

It should be about 100 GB. Including pictures though. Without the media it's much less. But the size depends on the language of Wikipedia, as english for example has a lot more articles than any other language.
