That's certainly true, and reinforces the method that you should not
rely on the firewall to protect you.  In this instance, you *should*
also configure the NAS with the range of IPs that it's allowed to
communicate with.

First protect services by configuring them appropriately.
Secondly put a firewall in the way.

Always do both steps.
