Can you use insight for VPN without having a netgear router?
All, How does insight work? Do i need the insight router to use the vpn to connect to my ready NAS remotely? If not can anyone give me some tips.

Netgear offers ReadyCloud for remote access - and that doesn't depend on insight or Netgear routers at all. It's a service built into the NAS, that connects to the ReadyCloud internet servers.

There are other ways to get remote access.
- Many routers support OpenVPN, and that gives you full access to your home network.
- There is a service called ZeroTier that lets you construct a multi-site VPN - and there is an app available for it on the NAS.
- There is also a package called "OwnCloud" that you can get from rnxtras.com that is similar to ReadyCloud - but doesn't depend on a cloud service.
So if ReadyCloud doesn't work out well for you, post back and we can explore the other approaches.
