ReadyCloud-Like similar product
I have an older ReadyNAS Ultra 6. I know Netgear shut down ReadyCloud in July 2023. I am trying to access my data files remotely and I cannot do it. I have tried every setting and none seem to work. I cannot even do it on my iPhone. Does anyone have any recommendations for ReadyCloud-Like free software that I can download/install that will allow me to see my data files remotely?

Does it run 4.2.x firmware? Or have you converted it to run OS-6?
Also who is your internet service provider (ISP)? Some use a technology called Carrier Grade NAT, which can get in the way of some solutions.

Personally I have a Netgear Router (Orbi) that has an OpenVPN server feature. That gives me full remote access to my home network.

If you are running OS6 (which I suspect you are since 4.2.x didn't offer ReadyCloud), I use Zerotier . A user has recently made a version of TailScale that works on a ReadyNAS, which is more up to date than the version of ZeroTier that works on one, but I've not used it.
The ability to post a proper link seems to be broken, so here they are without the https.
