Google easily finds our NAS boxes, me don't like

Postby Metrik » Fri Mar 09, 2012 2:11 pm

I wish there was a way to at least make it harder for intruders to Google our NAS boxes and start hammering away on the login page. Or anyone to browse our photos if we by mistake didn't make them private.

To see what I am talking about, try copy & paste these two examples into the Google search bar:

intitle:"Synology DiskStation - DiskStation"
or
intitle:"Photo Station 5"

Do you know which files to edit, to change (or remove) the WHOLE page title from the default "Synology DiskStation - blabla" or "Photo Station 5"?

It's this simple -- if you don't want search robots to find your DiskStation, don't expose port 80 to the Internet. Host your public website somewhere else and access your DiskStation through a VPN.

Close port 80 and host websites somewhere else isn't really a solution. It is the same as if you don't want your car dirty leave it in the garage.

If I use the syntax in from the original post then I can't find my own site (used it in combination with the site:<domain.nl> attribute to search for results within my domain).

Don't know why google didn't show my PS pages with this search format. I conducted a search with only the site:<domain.nl> argument and then all PS pages did show up. What I noticed was that the description in Google (read from the meta tag) is a standard description from photostation. This irritated me, whould like my own site description.

Searching for this on synology I found the file where you kan edit your description and title and several items. in /volumme1/@appstore/photostation/language there are several php files for each language. I edited the one for my lanquage (nld.php) and this gave me the result that the description meta tag changed. So this should work for your title as well.

If you want to exclude photostation as a whole from google then robots.txt is the way to go.

DS will only redirect to DSM login at http/https (default ports) if there is no default page to show in Web Station, so if you put out a blank htm start page that problem is solved. Google won't do port scanning for other services, so unless there are indexed links to some of your specific port services out there they won't show up in Google results.
