WebDAV

#6
Every device connected to the network has its IP address that identifies it.
DNS or Domain name is a human-friendly way of masking this IP address. It looks like you type in mysynology.com, but actually, this is converted into an IP.

Every IP behind open ports are visible to the world as a door. Hackers then scan test if you have latest updates installed. if not, you may have some hole in the software they could hack and get into the NAS.

VPN do not open any ports. when hackers scan your home IP address they see nothing. And they go away.

With Tailscale each device will have its IP address. You will simply paste it into your browser or file management app instead of using verbal DNS/Domain. There is no other difference.
