RN314 Creating External Connections
Greetings,
A little guidance please regarding unauthorised "Miscellaneous" connections to outside organisations being made by my ReadyNAS 314 without my knowledge.
I am in the process of switching internal connections from AFP to SMB/CIFS and encountering performance problems. I have been monitoring the ReadyNAS closely and was surprised to see in the "Connections" log that my ReadyNAS is making external connections all on its own (attached screenshot). Today it is apparently to Cloudflare, yesterday it was apparently to Amazon (50.18.202.68). I have been turning antivirus on and off, but have not been running any other apps. Should this be happening? Can I stop it?
Thanks for any and all guidance,
Mark
