I enabled DMZ on the router to point to the NAS and works fine - so it's the router 🙂

However, when I port forward port 22 to the NAS, it doesn't respond when trying to use SSH (on laptop/phone when away/using mobile data). There is a timeout response from the client and the logs from the NAS just show (auth.log):

Sep 10 19:07:21 NAS sshd[10270]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user admin
Any way to diagnose what's preventing access to the NAS via SSH?.
Uneducated guess: You need to use the username root, instead of admin.

Not sure you understand the major difference between sftp and ftp, especially when using ftp over port forwarding?
