I am pretty sure my router is blocking the access, but it records the attempts in its log.
If it's blocking and logging, then it won't matter if you move the port or even turn off the NAS, the connection attempts will still hit the firewall (because Internet).
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.
That's IMHO a worse case, because if it's rarely accessed, it's that much harder to remember the alternate port.
