Hi,
Which ReadyNAS are you using by the way? Is the VPN tunnel ending at your home or are you using a rented/free service with an unencrypted segment between the VPN server and your home? In case of the latter and if using ReadyCLOUD/ReadyNAS Remote it might be difficult to setup a whitelist as several IPs of Netgear’s servers would probably need to be whitelisted rather than the VPN server IP.
In any case, I don’t think the ReadyNAS Firmware offers an option for whitelisting IPs. Maybe you could look at your router rather than the ReadyNAS for IP-based access restriction.
However, I do like your request for this security feature although demand might be limited at least on the home user side.
