Given how notorious the Chinese government is in forcing local companies to add spyware to their products or store encrypted data for future decryption when quantum computers will become more feasible (e.g. Huawei), how secure do you think their Terramaster NAS products are? Is it worth the cost or is it best to just steer clear of these?

I had to do this with an NVR security camera system I got off Amazon. The NVR ~~is~~ was constantly sending data to servers in China. Using pfSense I put it on it's own VLAN and used firewall rules to stop it from reaching the internet. I also setup an OpenVPN server so i can access it remotely when away from home.
