I have a NAS I wish to change the ssh port from 22 to something

If it's IPv4 and exposed to the Internet, moving to a different port
isn't really doesn't do much to secure it; it's not all that hard to
scan for SSH on any port (and people do, and it will be found). If it's
not exposed... why move it? It just makes an extra hassle when
connecting.
Basically, moving known services to alternate ports is rarely a good or
useful idea.
I am pretty sure my router is blocking the access, but it records the
attempts in its log. Probably 98-99 percent of the log is these
attempts. I want to see what happens to the log if I change the port.
Since I am the only one who should be accessing the NAS with ssh, and
that is very rarely, I don't mind the extra hassle.
