If you are using Synology NAS, you may have seen that the device is blocking the local IP address of certain devices once too many failed login attempts happen. It won’t happen frequently, but in some cases, if any device connected to the Synology NAS failed to log in and tries reconnecting again, the Synology NAS might block the device’s IP address.
In this article, we are going to check, how we can remove blocked IP addresses from Synology NAS. By unblocking the IP address, you can continue using the Synology NAS, without any issues.
IP Address Blocked By Synology NAS
If you are using Synology NAS within your network and trying to use any of the Synology Services like Synology Photos, Synology videos, etc on your phone, tab, or PC, then you need to log in using the local Synology Account. In some cases, due to the system update or some other reasons, the login to the device might cause the issue.
If the device that is used to access the Synology service, whether it is a phone, tab, or anything failed to log in continuously multiple times, Synology will add the IP address of that device to the blocked list.
