Security for hosting a website off NAS?

Post by TheDave1022 »

If I were to open port 80 and allow web traffic into the NAS, how unsafe would this be in terms of the files not shared in the website?

Hi there,

The web server running on port 80 is an independent service, therefore, basically the files which are not shared in the website (e.g. the "Download" shared folder) cannot be accessed through it.

Thanks,
