zzgus Posted March 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 23, 2020 As the title say, and with the impossibility to get 6.2.2 working, is there any problem of staying in 6.1.7 ? As I don't really know how synology dsm / updates work, do ALL synology models are able of update to recent dsm's like 6.2.2 or are models that like Apple / Windows computer's (depending of computer hardware) will only be able to update to certain dsm's versions?

PerkyUnicorn Posted March 23, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2020 Several apps such as VMM and hyper backup ended updates on 6.1.7 However 6.1.7 seem to be more stable with a few NICs than 6.2.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou @flyride for your support. A little more clear now, but, if "6.2.x releases are simply security/bugfixes at this point," then it would be interesting to stay on this 6.2.2 or is 6.1.7 also "patched" for those security/bugfixes?

flyride Posted March 24, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 24, 2020 6.2 has received a few patches for security fixes when 6.1 has not. However, Synology lags so badly with critical updates versus a normal Linux distro, I personally won't rely on 6.2.2's security state. My recommendation is that you should assume it's hackable and never expose your NAS to the Internet. VPN or 2-factor encrypted proxy service are really the only options to safely access it remotely. If you subscribe to that opinion, the difference between 6.1 and 6.2's security state is really irrelevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's impossible, because simply the fact that it's connected to your home network means it's connected to "internet" and accessible by any security issue. Or do you mean to don't open ports to access the NAS? I ussually connect home trough a VPN. Thankyou Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted March 25, 2020 Share #7 Posted March 25, 2020 @zzgus As long as you don't "expose" it to internet, by manually open ports, or trusting UPpN on your router, there should not be a direct way "in". That beeing said, your connected computer, with the current user rights, have access to your NAS and your files... Stay safe, and use normal common sense, do not click on "funky" stuff ransomware might encrypt the files on your fileshares... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
