Asustor were pretty useless when mine stopped working, and had a pretty bad ransomware incident where they did a lot of blaming users for their own buggy software. I won't be buying from them again.

I looked up the ransomware attack out of curiosity: https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/asusto...

It looks like Deadbolt also hit QNAP and Terramaster.

Also, it looks like only units which are accessible from the internet are hit, but isolated units did not get hit.

> only units which are accessible from the internet

Sort of. Accessible via Asustor's own software which they'd been promoting to users, which I'm pretty sure had some kind of hole punching / bridge node setup so that you could use it even if you were blocking all inbound connections to your NAS. Obviously if you completely disconnect it from the internet in both directions then you're safe (but also can't get updates etc.)

I plan to keep mine in an egress only state behind NAT (It can connect somewhere, but it's not reachable). Maybe, maybe I'll include it in my VPN setup.

		Yeah, that was the state mine was in, it didn't save me.

I can just install TrueNAS and be happy, though. I'm not afraid of configuring things.
