You can modify `/etc/connman/main.conf` and add your interface to the `NetworkInterfaceBlacklist` field. The line will looks something like this:
`NetworkInterfaceBlacklist = LeafNets,docker,veth,zt,tap`
After that configuration saved, you will need to restart the connman service:
`systemctl restart connman.service`
Note: Since this is a system service, the configuration file will be overwritten with the firmware updates. I will see if we can add the tap to the blacklist in a future firmware release.

You could run `ifconfig tap0 down` and `ifconfig tap0 up`.
Since you are looking into the network settings of the NAS, you may need to look into the connman settings for that interface.
