remote access ReadyNas 426
I have a ReadyNas 426. Since the remote use software is no longer usable, I have been looking for an alternative.
I found this one by connecting directly via the ip address 192.***.***.***/admin.
This works fine as long as I am on the wifi. As soon as I am out of range of the wifi, it no longer makes contact.
Is there a solution to this, do I need to adjust a setting?

Some routers have a built-in VPN that you could use. If you let us know what router manufacturer and model you have, we can possibly check that for you.
Another option is to install ZeroTier on your NAS and devices you use remotely.
