Disable Enforce Global/Private Split-View to access my NAS

[netExtra]

What happened:
On my LAN I can access my media player device but not my Synology NAS. Initially Windows Explorer just hanged. But now it says it can't access my NAS. After some searching I found out the solution was to disable Enforce Global/Privat Split-View to access my NAS. Is there another way?

What did you expect to happen?:
Access to my LAN asking for credentials.

How did you reproduce it?:
Type LAN IP address into Windows Explorer address bar.

Using the DNS name \\<name> for my NAS works without me having to disable split-view. But that still doesn't explain why I can access my media player by \\<ip address> but not the Synology NAS.

OK the issue seems to be that coz I'm running Plex servers, Portmaster resolves my NAS IP address to some kind of local Plex alias? So I created the incoming rule below.

thanks for the update, I guess this is resolved now.

Yes thanks. I was looking for an IP address and got that weird DNS alias which is why it took me so long to find. What is that? No one on Discord could tell me. Also Scope Internet being the default is seriously annoying.

if you are looking for a LAN issue I get that, but most of the time you are looking where your programs are sending data to that is not in your Local Area

Thanks and sorry but what is that entry? It's not an IP address, but it looks like a DNS alias of some kind.
