I have a QNAP NAS that is connected to a UNIFI dream machine that is connected to my Orange LiveBox.
WWW ----------> LiveBox -------------> Dream Machine -------------> QNAP NAS
I am trying to set up access to the QNAP NAS but my LiveBox and Dream Machine have their own local IP ranges, which makes setting up port forwarding difficult.
Let's say LiveBox has a local IP range of 192.168.1.1 to 2.200 and the Dream Machine a range of 192.168.0.1 to 0.499. The Dream Machine shows under LiveBox's local IP, the QNAP doesn't. The QNAP only shows under the Dream Machine's local IP.
I don't want to connect the QNAP directly to the LiveBox, I want to manage the QNAP through the Dream Machine. Would I need to set up a "double" port forwarding? From the LiveBox to the Dream Machine?
What a terribly complicated world!
Thanks,

P.S. I am able to access the QNAP NAS through QNAP cloud services, so there should be a way, I hope.
I’d think you’d need IP forwarding as well as port forwarding enabled on the Dream Machine to go between the subnets (ie making it act as a gateway).
….oh and .499 is not a valid IP address (255 maximum)
How do you access the NAS? Do you mount it as a drive on the remote computer, or just copy files from it using a Web Browser or ftp - or something else.
