ReadyNAS OS 6, Remote admin config

Question

I did a firmware update from OS4 to OS6 Successfully.
My question is if i can somehow configure a user or such to let my friend login as admin or either a normal user with admin permissions to help me setup my NAS. I hope you understand my kinda question.

I understand that open up the NAS to worldwide would not be good thing so i thought maybe i can use port forwarding in my router to just allow incomming connections from his WAN-ip ?

Have i missunderstood or are there a better way? Maybe there is a Netgear addon for this?

Cant use ReadyCloud it seems. The device needs to be registered it says when i try to upgrade my mynetgear account.

There's something wrong here.&nbsp; The mynetgear account doesn't need to be upgraded, and you don't need to register the NAS for support in order to use ReadyCloud.

ZeroTier, is it free to use?

Yes.
&nbsp;
You might also check if your router supports OpenVPN (which is also free to use).&nbsp; Many routers do, including Netgear Nighthawk and Orbi models.

I don't think it does.

Hi&nbsp;&nbsp;Anton_,&nbsp;
Ok, then please tell me how to login to ReadyCloud with my Mynetgear account. I cant get it to work.
Wrong username or password it says. The documentation says that i need to upgrade my mynetgear account to readycloud account to get it to work and also register my device.

&nbsp;
Can you log in to the myNETGEAR portal (my.netgear.com)? If you are able to log in, try changing your password there. After changing the password, please try logging in again to ReadyCLOUD using that new password.
&nbsp;

If you set up ReadyCloud on the NAS, then your friend could use that. You'd need to give him the NAS admin credentials though&nbsp;

Routers I've owned don't let you filter inbound connections that way.

A VPN is what you want here.&nbsp; ReadyCloud is a VPN and then some.&nbsp; Many routers have VPN capability built in.&nbsp; I personally use ZeroTier to administer my backup NAS at my brother's house 3 states away, though the ReadyNAS-specific app for it is getting quite old.
