ReadyNas 312 VPN Access
Hi there,
I have inherited the administration of a ReadyNas 312 unit.
Currently there are 2 senior users who are able to access the unit remotely via VPN - they are in their own user group.
I want to enable 2 users in the general user group to be able to access via VPN.
I cannot see what gives the 2 current VPN users access nor can I see how to give the other 2 users access. In fact I cannot see many setting for the user groups at all which I found strange.
Could someone guide me as to where to look for the settings?
Thanks in advance.

There's more than one way to set this up, so you will need to figure out what your predecessor did.
ReadyCloud is enabled on the cloud page of the NAS, and managed from http://readycloud.netgear.com
Though of course you can use a VPN hosted by your router - which is what I do myself.
It is also possible to deploy ZeroTier (which is done with an app on the NAS). That would be managed at https://my.zerotier.com

Welcome to the Community!
I agree, you need to know how they set it up. In case you may find this interesting aside from what StephenB suggested.
