Online (VPN Disconnected)
It suddenly has shown the message 'online (VPD Dissconnected)' on Window app from 5days ago. I already uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still doesn't work. I can connect on the Chrome we...
I found the notification that ReadyCLOUD service for WiFi routers is ending on April 4th, 2023 / ReadyCLOUD service for ReadyNAS devices is ending on July 1st, 2023.. I guess that's why it happens and, no more fixing it.
All readycloud users have to move their files to another cloud storage before the end of support..

Not true. There are other options for remote access to a ReadyNAS that have been exhaustively discussed in other threads. I don't know about options for ReadyCloud on routers, as I do not use it.
What are the other threads ? or other solutions? can you direct us
I do not wish to use some one else's Cloud!

I did point you to the main alternatives on your other thread.
- ZeroTier, OpenVPN, or similar VPN if all you need is remote access
- Enabling FTPS with port forwarding and DDNS if you want a secure way to access the NAS files w/o a VPN.
- OwnCloud or NextCloud for sharing features similar to ReadyCloud
The place to start is to look at how you use ReadyCloud now. Your other thread talks about remote access/backup. But we don't know what else you are looking for.
Thank you StephenB for this (I don't know how to copy previous comments in greyed out format )

I use my NAS drive to synchronise files and folders from my remote PC on the NAS drive (attached to a local PC and home network) as a primary method of securing the data and being able to occasionally access and work on it from home.
My method is to backup the remote Office PC files overnight in a separate folder and it this backup that is synchronised to the remote Home NAS
My theory is the data is secure should my office PC be compromised or destroyed.
On my Home Pc local to NAS drive, I synchronise the files directly using ReadyCloud in the system tray.
Please forgive my clumsy explanation, My IT skills are limited and knowledge of networking, FTPS, DDNS etc are poor, not even rudimentary. Which is why ReadyCloud (when it worked) suited my needs.
From your suggestions which are easiest use with limited if non existent knowledge.
Many thanks in anticipation
