Cannot access folders on NAS via VPN
unable to access folders and files on NAS via VPN. I can see the NAS but I don't get access to anything on the NAS. Is it a port problem? I need a solution.

See it where?
Can you ping it?
Are you trying to access shares using SMB? If not, what protocol?
Also, what VPN are you using?

I can handshake the router at the NAS location via PPTP VPN and that is as far as I can get. Any further access is not possible.
