LeafNets IP address in 5.187 range?
Hi forum, Lately I am seeing a strange IP address popping up when I do ifconfig, related to the LeafNets network adapters. It's in the 5.187.xxx.xxx range, that is nowhere in my ISPs address range....
Correct.

Though there are other ways you can reach your NAS over the internet. If you find remote doesn't work for you, you can use FTPS or HTTPS instead. The alternatives require a bit more setup, and you do need to be careful to choose good passwords.
