ReadyNAS 102 sending to 64.233.167.109
I have two ReadyNas 102's running 6.9.2 firmware. My home LAN is setup to drop all traffic from and to the internet to be dropped. According to my router’s logs, both 102's are continually at...
Netgear does push hot-fixes that are installed silently on your NAS, though I didn't think they use google cloud servers for that.
If you intend to prevent all outbound internet traffic from the NAS, you could set a static address but deliberately use a non-existent gateway.
Can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
Looks like your system is having problems sending queued email alerts. I think that I.P. is associated with gmail.
Is your NAS behind a corporate firewall/proxy?
My firewall is set to drop all inbound and outbound traffic from the two ReadyNas.
I have deleted the email alerts, but the router is still seeing attempts to send something from the ReadyNas. The ReadyNas log has one incidence of a failure to send an alert however the router is seeing constant outbound attempts from the ReadyNas approx. every 15 seconds.
I think mdgm-ntgr is seeing that some email alerts were queued up for transmission (likely blocked by your firewall). Turning off email alerts might not clear that queue. You could try temporarily enabling gmail email alerts again, and also enable outbound SMTP (port 465 or possibly 587, depending on whether you set it up for SSL or TLS). Then after the queue clears and you receive whatever's in the queue, you can disable the alerts in the NAS and then disable the ports in your firewall rules.
If it's the mail queue tried to connect, we can delete the things under /etc/frontview/.msmtp.queue/ when enable ssh access.
