    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.

      No this is for the app Bitdefender Netgear VPN on windows computer. I bought an activaction code and the code didn't work and spit out code:11

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

    It would help to know which model of ReadyNAS is the subject of this question. (there are dozens)

     

    A link to the page in the User Manual describing how to set up VPN would be useful as well.
