Q: What is the difference between using an IP or domain name to connect to a NAS, and which method should I use?

2023-09-01


#NAS #IP #domain name #FAQ

There is no inherent difference between using an IP address or a domain name to connect to an ASUSTOR NAS, it depends on your personal preference and needs.
If you use IP to connect to ASUSTOR NAS, you can directly use its IP address to connect, for example, 192.168.1.100, which can directly enter the control interface of the NAS, which is relatively simple and fast, especially in the local LAN. However, if you need to connect to an external network, you need to know the public IP address of the NAS, and the public IP address may change due to network changes, so you need to update the IP address constantly, which is not convenient enough.
In contrast, using a domain name to connect to the ASUSTOR NAS, you can use a URL or domain name to connect, such as: nas.myasustor.com, so that it can be used in both the Internet and local networks, and is not subject to IP changes, which makes it relatively more convenient to use. In addition, domain name can be translated by DNS, which can better protect the privacy and security of users.
In short, using IP or domain name to connect to ASUSTOR NAS can realize the function of connection, depending on personal preference and usage requirements. If you need to connect to an external network or have security requirements, it is recommended that you use a domain name to connect.
