Can someone please explain to me, a casual home user, why it's dangerous to expose my NAS login page to the internet?... (alien.top)

...without snark or jumping down my throat. I genuinely want to know why it's so unsafe.

I'm running a Synology DS920+, with my DSM login exposed through a Cloudflare tunnel. I have 2FA enabled, Synology firewall enabled with these rules in place. I also have this IP blocklist enabled.

After all of this, how would someone be able to break in via the DSM login?

Zero day exploits.

Exactly this. I worked in a data center and when big zerodays hit, you could be certain you were wiping a few servers.

For a home lab, it could be anything from NAS access to the drives or access to your Voip cameras
