For users looking to secure and configure their QNAP NAS correctly, understanding the many system and application ports is crucial. Below is a consolidated and sorted list of known ports used by QNAP services, apps, and protocols as of 2025. This guide is ideal for users setting up firewalls, VPN tunnels, or remote access via Tailscale, WireGuard, or QuWAN.
Important: Ports such as 5000 (HTTP) and 5001 (HTTPS) used for WebDAV should always be changed or secured, especially if port forwarding is involved. If remote access is required, VPN-based solutions like Tailscale or QNAP QVPN (WireGuard/OpenVPN) are highly recommended.

Best Practices for Security
- Change default ports: Especially 5000/5001 used by WebDAV.
- Disable Telnet: Port 13131 should be turned off unless explicitly required.
- Avoid opening ports unless necessary: If remote access is needed, consider using Tailscale, OpenVPN, or WireGuard instead of exposing ports.
- Use Access Control + Firewalls: Limit traffic to necessary IPs and services.
- Keep firmware updated: Many vulnerabilities are fixed silently with QNAP updates.
