Configuring IP access protection
You can configure your NAS to automatically block client IP addresses after too many failed login attempts within a specified time period.
- Go to Control Panel > System > Security > IP Access Protection.
-
Select the connection methods you want to protect.
Note:
SSH, Telnet, and HTTP(S) are enabled by default.
- Optional:
Specify the following
information:
Field Description Time interval The interval of time in which the system counts successive failed login attempts.
Failed login attempts The number of failed login attempts allowed within the specified time interval.
IP block length The amount of time the IP address is blocked.
Note:-
A time interval of 0 means the IP address will be blocked if the specified number of failed login attempts is reached, regardless of when those login attempts occurred.
- For example, if Time interval is set to 5 and Failed login attempts is set to 3, then the IP address will be blocked if the user attempts to login 5 times within 3 seconds.

Click Apply.
If the time interval for any connection method is set to 0, you must verify your account password to apply the changes.
