Synology NAS SSH

Dear All

I have a DS414 Synology device which I am backing up to another on another site over the WAN. I have to open the SSH port 22 but  I now  seem to be having attack attempts as the deice is blocking IP's  This port can be changed but it seems that some would say that this inst necessary but synology suggest themselves to change the HHTP and HTTPS default ports and would have though that this would be the same for SSH.  

Please can you advice me as I know I need offiste backup but I don't want my data to be unsecured, I have breadth taken steps to put a HHTPS certificate in.

HI - I sort of follow what you are saying but could you assist further?  I am using Asus router AUC68U, any chance you could give me a step by step guide?
Kimputer

Assuming you meant the Asus RT-AC68U:

menu WAN > tab Virtual server / Port forwarding > 
Servicename: SSH
Port range: 22222
Local IP: (select the NAS IP)
Local port: 22
press the + sign to add it. Configuration should already be active now. Save configuration file on your computer for if you ever screw up the settings.

If you're not OUTSIDE your home, use public_IP and port 22222 to connect to your NAS.
Inside your home network, keep using port 22 to connect.

Site to site backup has to have some configuration where you change port 22 to 22222. If there are no backup settings to change, changing port numbers isn't an option.
