ZeroTier as a ReadyCloud replacement.
Well, a big part of a replacement, anyway. With ReadyCloud going away, a lot of folks are going to be looking for a replacement in order to have remote access to their ReadyNAS, I have been using...

Did you use the command I gave that retrieves the script and executes it, or did you download a .deb and try to install it? As I stated, there are dependency issues with later versions.

...just ran the curl command as per your first post. Is there a prior step I should have run?
I have not previously installed/removed nastools app or any standalone .deb

No, that should have worked. The system on which I recently installed it does not have KernelPlus, so that could be a difference. It was actually a legacy NAS converted to OS6, but that shouldn't make a difference. You can download the 1.4.0 .deb and try to install that.

Actually, I installed KernelPlus in the hope that would fix the dependencies (it didn't).
So, I downloaded the .deb files for both x64 and ARM from:
https://download.zerotier.com/RELEASES/1.4.0/dist/debian/jessie/pool/main/z/zerotier-one/
Installed them via the Apps tab
Turned on SSH
Entered the two zerotier-cli commands as per your first post (having already created a zerotier one account and network)
Turned off SSH
...and job done. Thanks.
Although, given the active user community despite the sheer contempt shown by Netgear for its network storage customers, I'm sure other options/improvements will emerge over the next few months.
Am I correct in assuming that I will need to re-install after any update (6.10.9?) to OS6? - Removing ReadyCLOUD will make quite a few settings in the UI redundant, and I wonder whether Netgear will be bothered to tidy things up to remove these.

It should not be necessary to re-install after an OS update unless a dependency is broken. Given that Netgear seems to be going out of the NAS market, I wouldn't really expect any update from them that does so.
I probably did an apt-get update (note NOT upgrade) at some point prior to running the script. I'm not sure why that would cause it to install an earlier (and working) version than it did for you.
