Yesterday I setup remote access to my QNAP NAS and wrote a guide for it, that I can reference later. Might be helpful for someone. This was my first time doing something like this. So any notes on my approach are also welcome.

    It boils all down to “centralized management”.

    With that the DHCP server has control over anything. Reduces (or basically eliminates) the risk of IP collisions. Also it gives you a place where you get a overview over your network. You change the DNS Server? You do it onetime in the DHCP settings. Etc. Etc.
