Callumpy, if you are going to have your NAS accessible via the internet, I would recommend you secure it. You run the risk of someone discovering it, and using it as free storage.

This isn't too bad if what they store is legal, or just copyrighted, but what if it is something more serious, such as child porn? You can be held liable for anything stored on the drive.

If you are found with child porn on your drive, you run the risk of serious legal action.
