Root connections
I was poking around and found the connections log. I found the attached screenshot. The first 3 are my local LAN IP. the bottom 4 root are not my IP. They are external IPs. What are these?
I looked at the whois 3 of the 4 are coming Amazon. Presumably something in AWS, and the 4th is form Huricane Electric. I would assume it's from one of those backu apps that comes installed with the readynas, but NONE of them are enabled. So why is their crap connecting to my box?

Which of course doesn't tell you anything (and neither does the hurricane electric one, since it's also a data center).
What apps and services are enabled?
NTP will of course make connections from time to time. The system will also periodically connect to the firmware update server.
