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.

Would not recommend setting the static IP on the device. A much better solution is to set up a static lease in your DHCP Server.
Hopefully your DHCP server never goes down.
@Appoxo @ShortN0te On your own network you should be able to have a long enought lease that it shouldn’t be a problem if your dhcp server is unavailable sometimes.
DHCP is a curial part of every network. When it goes down then you need to respond. Leases usually are given out for several days. Even then, to fix yoy DHCP you can just use a static address temporarily.
Similar stupid statements are: Hopefully your Switch never goes down. Hopefully your Router never goes down. Hopefully your Server never goes down. Hopefully your House never burns down.
