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.
