Hi there,
I recently got a good deal on a Terramaster F4-423 - my first NAS!
To prepare, I (re-)watched your guides from earlier this year, where you mentioned that if the NAS is connected to the router, it automatically has internet access.
Since I solely want to use this NAS as an offline file server for backups, storage, and hosting movie files for my Zidoo Player, I don’t need internet access. However, I don’t have a network switch either.
I did some research, but as a beginner, I’ve found it difficult to find whether it’s possible to block internet access directly from the NAS itself. Terramaster’s security guides mention various precautions, but I couldn’t find any information about fully disabling internet access while still connecting the NAS to the router.
I thought I’d give it a shot and reach out and ask you. Do you have any tips or know of a guide that could help me achieve this?
Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Hans
