If you are looking for alternatives, the two main ones discussed here are ZeroTier and OpenVPN.

I saw the other discussions, thanks. My issue is that I have been using the cloud accounts as advertised and setup family sharing / cloud backup service for everyone. Using the cloud accounts it was basic but worked. I'm not looking forward to setting up VPN for everyone and dealing with the support of all these Android / iOS and Desktop devices. Before it was, download the app and login.
Right now I'm exploring syncthing and resilio but I'm really on the backfoot here.

FWIW, I do use resillio sync, but it is set up on a PC, not the NAS. It can be used to back up at least some things on mobile devices (photos for example).
Hello JohnS530
The date of terminating the ReadyCloud had been extended to July 1st, 2023.
Note : NETGEAR will be terminating ReadyCLOUD service by July 1st, 2023. ReadyCLOUD mobile app, desktop application, and ReadyCLOUD web portal readycloud.netgear.com will all be terminated by July 1st, 2023. After that date, you can continue to access locally your ReadyNAS, or access locally the USB drive connected to the routers, but remote access won’t be available.
Have a lovely day,

Netgear TeamGreat, except the readycloud VPN has not been working for weeks now.
So essentially, readycloud is already dead.

The Java-based ReadyCloud desktop client "VPN" application is obsolete and cumbersome for a longer time. It's not required to install and operate the ReadyCloud Desktop application for using the Web-based ReadyCloud portal.

Negative. The https://readycloud.netgear.com/ portal is still up and workable.
I am unclear on why the ReadyCloud service is being shut down. If it's because it's not profitable (the usual reason for discontinuing a service), why not just convert it to a subscription-based service that brings in monthly revenue to support this infrastructure?
I would gladly pay a monthly fee to continue using this service uninterrupted.**bleep** you Netgear

I've had syncthing running on a readynas for about 1 year now. Seems to be slow to re scan if there is a large (>1TB) amount of files.
