NAS and web browsers, providing authorization and connection encryption. Encrypted
connections secure data and transactions. Before installing a myQNAPcloud certificate,
an error may occur when you try to connect to your NAS using HTTPS (for example:
https://nossl.myqnapcloud.com.) The data transmitted in the connection is not
protected against security threats. Unauthorized users have the potential to intercept
data being sent between a NAS and web browser.
Purchasing and installing a myQNAPcloud SSL certificate will bring you better protection
when connecting your NAS via DDNS.
Note :
A myQNAPcloud SSL certificate can only be used on NAS with QTS 4.2 or
