Thunar freezes after NAS is shut down

So I came back to Devuan from Debian. I have installed Daedalus with XFCE. I connect to my Synology with NFS, and I have a bookmark for it in Thunar. My issue is that when my Synology NAS is shut down, my Thunar freezes, it gets unstable or rather it doesn't respond, and I can't use it. It looks like this:

Now, I've read somewhere that I might use soft option in my fstab, but it doesn't change anything. My fstab looks like this at the moment:

192.168.1.17:/volume2/Backup/   /mnt/Backup/    nfs     auto,defaults,soft,nofail,nolock 0       0

So, the question is what is wrong with this, and/or what can I do, so that Thunar doesn't freeze when the NAS shuts down? Thank you for your time.

Update:
I have now tried to install autofs.

Then I have edited /etc/auto.master with this line at the end of the file:
/-   /etc/auto.misc

I edited /etc/auto.misc with my NFS info:

/mnt/Backup -fstype=nfs,rw 192.168.1.17:/volume2/Backup

But Thunar still freezes (and acts the same) after Synology is shut down.

Re: Thunar freezes after NAS is shut down

I have installed Nemo file manager, and when the computer loses connection to my NAS, it doesn't freeze as Thunar does. It does get slower when browsing through Nemo, but it's functional at least. Thunar just freezes.

On the left side is functional Nemo, on the right frozen Thunar.

Try a netdev in the fstab options?

Are you sure nofail and nolock are a good choice?

Restart Thunar? (thunar -q)

Re: Thunar freezes after NAS is shut down

When I restart thunar (thunar -q), I get this error:

(thunar:23463): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 16:35:36.930: g_signal_handler_disconnect: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

I will try netdev in my fstab.
