Scenario
Your mobile device connects to your NAS via myQNAPcloud Link, but your NAS does not enable Secure Login (SSL). You wonder whether your connection is secure.
Explanation
Is my data always encrypted with myQNAPcloud Link? What does Secure Login (SSL) do?
When your mobile phone connects via myQNAPcloud Link, your data (such as documents, photos, or videos) is always transmitted through a secure HTTPS (TLS-encrypted) tunnel, whether Secure Login (SSL) is enabled on your NAS or not. This ensures secure connection for your data transmission.
The Secure Login (SSL) option only matters when you have a direct connection (such as a connection via a LAN IP address, WAN IP address, or a DDNS hostname). When this option is enabled, your mobile device connects to your NAS using a secure port (default port number is 443), ensuring HTTPS encryption for this direct connection. You can configure this port setting on the NAS.
Note that this setting has no impact on myQNAPcloud Link, which always uses HTTPS by default.
How do my mobile apps choose a connection method?
Mobile apps automatically select the fastest available connection for optimal performance. This means they choose the faster method between myQNAPcloud Link and a direction connection. Note that the speed of each connection method depends on your configuration and network environment.
If your mobile apps use myQNAPcloud Link, then it will always establish a secure HTTPS connection.
How can I enhance connection security?
It is possible that your mobile apps choose a direct connection that is less secure than myQNAPcloud Link.
To enhance security, we recommend installing a valid SSL certificate on your NAS. This provides the following benefits:
- Verified NAS identity for trusted connections
- End-to-end HTTPS encryption
- No more untrusted certificate warnings
You can purchase an SSL certificate in the QNAP Software Store.
We recommend the following best practice to protect your data:
- Enable Secure Login (SSL) for direct connections (such as WAN IP address or DDNS hostname)
- Use myQNAPcloud Link for hassle-free, always-encrypted access
- Avoid insecure HTTP connections

场景
您的移动设备通过myQNAPcloud Link连接到您的NAS，但您的NAS未启用安全登录 (SSL)。您想知道您的连接是否安全。
解释
我的数据是否总是通过myQNAPcloud Link加密？安全登录 (SSL) 的作用是什么？
当您的手机通过myQNAPcloud Link连接时，您的数据（如文档、照片或视频）始终通过安全的HTTPS (TLS加密)隧道传输，无论您的NAS是否启用了安全登录 (SSL)。这确保了数据传输的安全连接。
该安全登录 (SSL)选项仅在您有直接连接（如通过LAN IP地址、WAN IP地址或DDNS主机名连接）时才重要。启用此选项后，您的移动设备将通过安全端口（默认端口号为443）连接到您的NAS，确保此直接连接的HTTPS加密。您可以在NAS上配置此端口设置。
请注意，此设置对myQNAPcloud Link没有影响，myQNAPcloud Link始终默认使用HTTPS。
我的移动应用程序如何选择连接方式？
移动应用程序会自动选择最快可用连接以获得最佳性能。这意味着它们会在myQNAPcloud Link和直接连接之间选择更快的方法。请注意，每种连接方式的速度取决于您的配置和网络环境。
如果您的移动应用程序使用myQNAPcloud Link，那么它将始终建立安全的HTTPS连接。
我如何增强连接安全性？
您的移动应用程序可能会选择比myQNAPcloud Link安全性较低的直接连接。myQNAPcloud Link。
为了增强安全性，我们建议在您的NAS上安装有效的SSL证书。这提供了以下好处：
- 验证的NAS身份以实现可信连接
- 端到端HTTPS加密
- 不再有不受信任的证书警告
您可以在QNAP软件商店购买SSL证书。
我们建议以下最佳实践来保护您的数据：
- 启用安全登录 (SSL)用于直接连接（如WAN IP地址或DDNS主机名）
- 使用myQNAPcloud Link以实现无忧、始终加密的访问
- 避免不安全的HTTP连接
