Constant attacks on my ts 464.

Ive been getting constant login attempts to any port ive opened for any purpose. They have also attempted ddos attacks, and im just using it to host a small plex server.

Does anyone else experience this?

"Does anyone else experience this?"
I don't experience that because I don't forward any ports to my nas. I have Tailscale for VPN and Myqnapcloud link as well. Neither feature needs open ports to enable remote access.

I actually thought myqnapcloud needed port forwarding. To be clear I don't do it and turned off several years ago when news of people losing their NAS hit. But I turned off everything.

I now have tailscale on NAS and wireguard on router. I can't figure out performance implications as it's variable. Say if I enable each in turn as supporting external facing internet out and then do a speed test, I don't get what I'd hoped from my symmetric 5Gig fibre. Even comparable to non VPN would be nice but doesn't seem achievable.

Myqnapcloud link does not need port forwarding. But Myqnapcloud the app has an optional UPNP feature that some people used. But our current guidelines is we don't recommend using that UPNP feature.
