Reading that it's pretty obvious they're preventing modules to try to kill of XPEnology. Sometimes Synology baffles me, the users that are part of the XPEnology project were never going to be paying customers anyway, and they seem to go to extraordinary efforts to try to stop them.

The "this is for security reasons" is just silly, none of the exploits they've been hit by to date that I'm aware of utilize or require inserting a kernel module into the system. And if they have the infrastructure to sign modules to allow insertion, they could extend you whatever signing they utilize.

It's not like a nation state actor couldn't hack Syno corporate and get access to signing keys if they were after a targeted attack...
