This also applies to external access to the network storage, provided that no port forwarding has been configured for this kind of access.ġ. However, if a router registers incoming data packets that have not been explicitly requested by a device on the LAN, they are immediately discarded for security reasons. With IPv4, the distribution of IP packets in the local network is carried out via a component of the router known as NAT (Network Address Translation). If a data packet is returned as a response to the request, the router ensures that this is redirected to the original client in the LAN. when a website is accessed) from the local network and sends them with its own public IP address to the corresponding destination on the world wide web. If a device from the LAN is to interact with the internet, this is done exclusively via the router. This works best when network devices acting as servers are assigned a static LAN IP address. Instead, the router (which is the only instance of the LAN to have a public IP address), must be configured in such a way that access to the NAS system is redirected to its private LAN IP. Since private IP addresses are not routable, it isn’t possible to obtain direct access to the IPv4 address of your network storage from the internet. These addresses are sometimes called LAN IPs. However, these are used exclusively for internal communication in the LAN, are automatically allocated by a DHCP server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) on the router, and connect the individual hardware components of the network such as PCs, tablets, smartphones, or home servers. Private IP addresses: if you look at the structure of a Local Area Network (LAN) that connects different devices to a home or company network, you can also find IP addresses there.Since remote access from the internet requires a static address, methods such as dynamic DNS (DDNS) have been established and provide a way of linking dynamic IP addresses to unchangeable domains. This means that the address is randomly assigned to the router and only lasts for a certain period of time (around 24 hours). The public IP is usually dynamic for private users and most online businesses. Public IP addresses: each router is assigned a public IP address from the respective ISP and this address connects the router to the internet and serves as a sender address for server requests.A major disadvantage, however, is that desired access is only possible with the correct router configuration, which is used as a link between the two address ranges. Local devices on a home or company network are protected from unauthorized access to the internet.
