Revise ReadyNas remote to create full VPN

I was more referring to external. Internally I have no problems with the NAS so I don't really need to disable anything.
It's external where the problem lies. I can port forward on my firewall to the NAS which is no problem and works fine but I want to do everything securely so I want to authenticate before I even get on to the network from externally. I realise I can buy further hardware to do that but I don't want to go down that route whereby I have several devices I need to leave on. I can't change my router (it's cable and the ISP won't let me change it) so that's one device on and the second device I'd like to leave on is the NAS hence the request.
Whilst on the subject of requests one other thing I'd really like is a built in full-disk encryption but that's for a different post.
