Managing a ReadyNAS after ReadyCloud is gone
I've seen a few posts about ReadyCloud alternatives, but most seem to be focused on accessing shares remotely. I don't need to access the shares, but I do need to be able to access the NAS GUI to do ...

Are you saying you want to do that remotely???
If you are on the same network, just browse to https://nas-ip-address/admin or https://nas-name/admin (using the real IP address or hostname of course).
If you want to access the web admin ui remotely, there are three options:
- create a secondary https port in the NAS setup, and forward that port to your NAS from your router
- use an inbound VPN (like openVPN) if that is available in your router.
- user ZeroTier
(1) and (2) would also need DDNS so you could connect with a URL instead of an IP address.
(2) and (3) offer the best security.
How do you setup ZeroTier on an RN314? Is it an app you setup on the NAS?
I tried loading "nastools-zerotier-one_1.1.14-nt3_amd64.deb" onto my RN314 with OS 6.10.8. It fails to load each time. I updated the Plex app to be sure it would work and it did. There is a newer version of the app but it is not 64 compatible.
Am I doing something wrong?
