NAS104 not connecting OSx nor able to access via RemoteNAS

Question

Hi ALL&nbsp;1st time here.&nbsp;I am trying to use the NAS104 as personal cloud but until now it turned to be a externa hard drive that I can send my files in but have a LOT of trouble trying to connect and use the files when needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;I use a Time Capsule + Model to connect the Netgear to my network..Until some months ago I manage to connect to the NAS via finder and altought extremely low I manage to use to copy TO and FROM NAS..&nbsp;Now, I am only able to access via the navigator interface (via&nbsp;readycloud.netgear.com) and I still able to copy files to the NAS (very fast &nbsp;must say) but since I use to backup most GoPro Videos and photos (RAW data) I have no preview on the files and only manage to download a file. So you can imagine how happy I am when I need to work...&nbsp;Any clues?&nbsp;How can I connect again? I used to happly use ReadyNASRemote for some days, now don`t even login (the icon flashes with blue color and keeps gray, which means, no connection).&nbsp;Also, If I am no asking to much in the same tread how can I configure so a may be able to connect away from home? It is possible?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks!!

Some Netgear routers (perhaps other models) have OpenVPN support built in (the R7000 is one). &nbsp;That's by far the easiest. &nbsp;Once configured, you run the OpenVPN client on the PC, and then you have full access to your home network - NAS, printers, other devices. &nbsp;The connection is encrypted with AES, and if it is in the router doesn't require opening any ports. &nbsp;I don't think there is an OpenVPN app for the RN104.
&nbsp;
OwnCloud is similar to ReadyCloud - I haven't used it, so I don't if it has the same issues for you or not. &nbsp;There is a small charge from the app developer (and it is available on the RN104).
&nbsp;
IMO, ReadyCloud still isn't there yet.

Is there a possible way to configure an openVPN with this hardware?

I don't think so (though its hard to be certain without looking at the user manual)

It shouldn't be. Did you mean remotely? &nbsp;Locally you should just use finder.

No.

OpenVPN might work better for you.

Tks for you quick reply&nbsp;Sorry for the question, but can you give me some orientation on how to configure an OpenVPN?&nbsp;I am really a dumb on the matter :(&nbsp;

I am using a MacBook Pro and soon an iMac and also would like that my wife MBP could have access to the files also...Nowadays only I have access and via browser... Really frustrating.&nbsp;My router is one that the service provider lend - a Technicolor TC7300.
