Model: Deco BE63  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.2.10

Hi all, hoping someone can help me track down how my NAS is exposed to the internet.

**Setup:**
- TP-Link Deco mesh system (acting as primary router, Spectrum modem in bridge mode)
- UGREEN NAS connected to Deco via 2.5GbE
- Windows PC connected to Deco via 2.5GbE
- NAS also has a direct 10GbE connection to the PC

**The problem:**
My NAS security log is filling up with hundreds of login attempts from external IPs (DigitalOcean, Azure, Chinese IP ranges, etc.). Auto-block is catching them but I need to close the exposure entirely.

**What I have already tried:**
- Checked NAT Forwarding in the Deco app — no port forwarding rules exist
- Disabled UGREEN Link (the NAS manufacturer's remote access/cloud relay service) — attacks continue
- Rebooted the NAS after disabling UGREEN Link — attacks continue
- Confirmed the Spectrum modem is in bridge mode — the Deco is the gateway
- Disabled all NAS services except SMB
- Auto-block is enabled and working (2 failed attempts = permanent block)

**Why I think it's the Deco:**
When I initially set up the NAS, UGREEN Link (remote access) was enabled by default. This service almost certainly used UPnP to automatically open ports on the Deco. Even though I have since disabled UGREEN Link, I believe those UPnP-created port rules may still be active on the Deco but the app gives literally zero information and the web portal is even worse.

I have not yet disabled UPnP in the Deco settings — I wanted to understand first whether rebooting the Deco would flush those rules, or if they persist until manually cleared.

**My questions:**
1. Does rebooting the Deco flush UPnP-created port rules, or do they persist?
2. Is there a way to view active UPnP rules in the Deco app or web interface?
3. Is there anything else in the Deco configuration I should check?

 

Thanks in advance.

Please advise. 

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1

Hi,
Regarding your questions:
  1. If your NAS's UPnP feature is disabled, rebooting the Deco will flush UPnP-created port rules.
  2. Currently, there is no option in the Deco app or the web UI to see the UPnP rules.
  3. In your situation, please turn off the UPnP feature in the Deco app and check if it helps.
Best Regards
