Answer
According to the Internet Domain Name Regulations (2017) published by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), internet users in China must connect to registered .cn domains certified by the Chinese government.
In compliance with this regulation, you must verify whether your device is in China in order for QNAP to provide sufficient network connectivity. QNAP uses your location data to ensure the quality of your network connection. Your location data is not shared with any third parties. If the location data you provide is inaccurate, you may experience poor network connectivity.
