Firstly, big thanks for the kudos! I'm thrilled you've found the YouTube series helpful. Now, onto your important question: if you run your QNAP TS-453e solely as an archive terminal without connecting it to your router, your risk from outside ransomware is indeed significantly reduced. By keeping it in an isolated setup with no direct internet connection, you create an extra layer of protection against potential threats.
Your approach aligns with the principle of minimizing attack surfaces. However, ensure that your archive-only NAS remains updated with the latest security patches and firmware even in this offline configuration. Feel free to dive into the QNAP security settings to fortify your NAS further.
