Removing Readynas Remote AND Leaf Netwroks
I have a DUO that works flawlessly for me. However, in an odd click discovered ReadyNas Remote 1.6.5.18 no longer works. That's ok. But the questions are: If I remove ReadyNas Remote from control...

It's been a long time since I had Remote installed on a PC - but I think uninstalling it there should remove the Leaf VPN as well.

The VPN service will still be present in the system, but it only runs if Remote is running.

You could do with SSH I guess. Not something I've felt the need to do, so I don't know if there are side effects if it is missing.
But obviously doing an OS reinstall, etc would just add it back.

Thanks, but we must be talking about two different things. Leaf Networks runs in Windows and always runs regarless of whether ReadyNas Remote runs or not. Neiother of these are on the NAS.

Ahhh, OK. There are two parts. One on the NAS and one as a Windows CLient. Its the windows clinet and Winodws Network Adapter I wish to remove.

Thanks. That's what I was hoping but I always like to check to be sure nothing else destabilizes. Especially since that was installed 8 or 9 years ago :)
Will likely try later this weekend.. I'll do a restore point just in case.
