What port is used for Twonky?
One thing that should be remembered, is do not ever use port 9000 for anything, because I have found out that port 9000 is used for the Twonky server settings. I am sure there are other ports used for other configurations, but the Twonky server is the only one I have found out about so far.
What ports does a NAS use?
On your local network, the NAS keeps the ports 80 and 443 to work. When a connection comes from the outside though, on the ports 9080 or 9443 of your router WAN side, your router will forward the traffic to your NAS on the corresponding ports.
Is port forwarding required for remote access?
Setting port forwarding is not necessary to enable remote access. If you don’t set it, the WD servers will act as relay for the traffic going to your NAS in a secure way. If you set it, the WD servers are still used to track “where” you NAS is on the Internet, and the conntection is still protected by SSL, but there are fewer hops to go through, therefore you should get a slightly better performance.

How to administer NAS externally?
If you really need to administer your NAS externally, what I would recommend is that you do ssh forwarding. Open a public port eg 2222 on your router to the NAS ssh enabled port 22. All you need to do is to setup port forwarding on your external ssh client localhost:8080: 192.168.1.1 :80 and ssh to this port 2222 from the internet. Open the your browser and point to http://localhost:8080/UI/. I’ve done these on mobile access.
Is WD Dashboard publicly accessible?
It is very risky exposing the WD Dashboard publicly on the internet. If you were to tweak apache to allow external access, with the existing API, one can view some info about your NAS without password eg the user list.
Can you access NAS from outside the network?
What are you trying to do exactly? You won’t be able to access the NAS UI from outside the network, unless you tweak the Apache server configuration.

You could SSH remotely to the NAS and trigger file operations there, I suppose.
What port is used for login?

What ports are not blocked on my router?
Make sure the ports 9000 and 10080 are not blocked on your network switch or router, otherwise the remote login will not work.
