RN31200 vpn file sharing setup
Hi All,
I think this had been asked before but I don't have much information on a sort of step-by-step guide to setting up the vpn sharing for the NAS.
I'm currently having issue to configure the RN31200 and the modem Archer D7. I'm looking for a method to access the NAS via the computer file system, just like how Dropbox and Google Drive work, and I think it will require some sort of VPN to be set up. I had install VPN server on the NAS but not sure how to properly set it up afterwards.
Could someone please shed some light on the process? Many thanks.
-Tommy

ReadyCLOUD can provide you VPN connection easily when you are out of LAN network,you can register a MyNETGEAR account and use it to activate ReadyCLOUD service in ReadyNAS admin UI,after you activated ReadyCLOUD service,you will be able to access samba/AFP share of your NAS over VPN connection when you are not in LAN network.
to register MyNETGEAR account,you can go to https://my.netgear.com/registration/login.aspx to register your NAS device or create a new account directly at https://readycloud.netgear.com/
you also need to install ReadyCLOUD client to your Windows/Mac OS for VPN share access and sync/backup your data to NAS anywhere.

ReadyCLOUD FAQ
Hi Deniro,
Thanks for your solution. I had revisited the settings and whenever I'm trying to connect to the NAS out of the LAN, it'll say NAS Online (VPN Disconnected). Are there any other setup I need to do on my router or setting on the NAS itself?
I've also seen a lot of post about VPN disconnected but no solution had been found yet?
