what is leafp2p?
what is leafp2p running on my system? I understand its somehow related to readynas remote or readynas replicate, neither of which I will ever use. Is leafp2p used for anything else? It ends up creating a few processes and is always burning on the CPU just a little bit. Can it be safely disabled without any problems? Are any other aspects of readynas dependent on this VPN software being enabled? Seems to me it should not be running unless its really needed and is a bit invasive.
I can report that his problem has been solved in 6.5.0 RC3, leafp2p should not be left running anymore unless Netgear cloud services are being used. That is my experience with RC3 so far.

leafp2p is the VPN technology that powers Ready Remote, Replicate, and ReadyCloud.
It is not running on my RN102, but it is running on my RN202 - not sure why. Both are running 6.5.0 Beta 2, and both have all cloud services turned off.
If you don't use any of the cloud services you could try doing e.g.
# systemctl stop leafp2p# systemctl disable leafp2p
So that would include ReadyCloud, ReadynasRemote, ReadynasReplicate? Anything else that requires this service running?
I am thinking about messing around with ReadyCloud at some point, but I'm not sure I really need it. I'm assumign that if I decide I want to use those again I would just do the following to renable it again later:
systemctl enable leafp2p systemctl start leafp2p
Yes? where does the actual .service file for leafp2p get stashed?
