how to block admin page from internet access..?
Hi there, I have installed nextcloud on my readynas and opened it to the internet, https://myDynDNS-Readynas with the ports 443 and 80, installed a letsencrypt certificate for that, and can access...

can this somehow be separated, that only the nextcloud page is accessible from outside, but not the admin page..? Is there a smarter way to access the admin page only from the local net..?
Unfortunately not.

Do you need port 80 forwarded? 443 would be all you'd need for https.

at least I needed port 80 for getting the initial certificate from letsencrypt. But I think it is not longer needed for the renewal process... I will give it a try.

If you do need it, then you should make sure that http admin access is disabled on system->settings->services->http.
It would be nice if you could limit https admin access to use only the secondary https port (or only 443). Either would accomplish your purpose, and would be a pretty easy thing for Netgear to do. You could put this into the idea exchange - though don't hold your breath waiting for them to get to it.
