Linking your QNAP device to Express is straightforward.
Interesting question! Linking your NAS with a VPN can boost privacy and security by encrypting your data traffic.

It also gives you more control over where your data goes, enhancing overall safety.
VPN effectiveness drops when mostly used locally. For hiding services behind a VPN, set up your own with tools like WireGuard or OpenVPN.

This approach works well for private business networks where services should remain confidential.
