I setup the unit about 2 weeks ago and right away it connected to WD2GO using Relay (No manual port forwarding) and worked great for 10 days. Then for some reason I decided to try port forwarding and manually setup my firewall and Mybook and this also worked but after doing some security scans I didnt like that I had to have two ports exposed to the internet and decided to undo this and go back using Relay. To revert back I un-did the changes in Mybook and firewall and then rebooted both units but now Mybook fails to connect with relay and I cant figure out why.
I have two questions
-
Has anyone come across this and found a solution?
-
If I go back to using port forwarding am I right in that this is less secure and has some risks?
