Is the firewall on the ReadyNAS far below acceptable level?
Hi All, I'm installing a ReadyNAS Pro 6, that will have "some" connections to the outside world. Given that this essentially is a Linux box, and SSH-access is possible, i figured it had some decent...
There does appear to be a major error, just not the one you describe.
Your post seems to suggest you are responsible for the purchase (or selection) of the ReadyNAS unit for use in your business environment.
So take a moment to consider that, despite specific (and reasonable) corporate requirements, you invested in equipment with no claim of firewall support and - based totally on your own assumption - instead chose to rely on using an unsupported access method to try to enable a totally unsupported capability.
You then expect us to agree with you that given this does not work the way you assumed this is "unacceptable" on the part of Netgear as you are "not in the business of fixing major errors by suppliers"?
As you have now discovered ReadyNAS devices do not feature full IP table support and there is no addon (official or community) to "fix" this.
If you cannot use your other network equipment to protect the NAS, personally I'd suggest the easiest option would be to consider a different supplier - perhaps one that claims firewall support?
