FizzTags​ - is this really a ReadyNAS question?  (You posted it in the ReadyNAS forum)?  Or are you trying to get a VPN working in your router?  If that latter, can you give details of the router?

 

The ReadyNAS products do not include a VPN feature.  So if this is a ReadyNAS, it would be helpful to know what add-on you are trying to use.

      You should reach out to Netgear support.  (This is a user-to-user forum, and neither CrimpOn​ nor I work for Netgear).
