That way, traffic is end-to-end encrypted, and no configuration is needed to move machines between physical locations. Tailscale works best when the client app is installed directly on every client, server, and VM in your organization. NoPlex: Subnet routers and traffic relay nodes **In an ideal scenario, MCH should be made to run Tailscale under its own Debian OS or using Docker for example, but that is probably not going to happen any time soon with WDC. The way to access the MCH remotely without any modification to the MCH itself, no hacking of the MCH is required and it is free and it works.** The only condition is it required another network device that must run the Tailscale subnet as the router (could be a physical router that runs Tailscale or even the client Windows or mac running another Tailscale instance in a virtual machine that functions as the subnet router). The 2TB to 6 TB WD SMR HDDs in most MCHs are unsuitable to be used as NAS HDDs.Īlso realize that WD Discovery may continue to work for a while longer and June 2023 is not a drop dead date, it is just a warning the end is near for MCH desktop support.įinally, to answer the question, if one is smart about NAS remote networking, there is another way. MacOS send file with Taildrop which is part of Tailscale.īefore one pulls out the crappy SMR HDD in the MCH and pull out one’s own hair trying to get it to run properly with another NAS, realize that it is easier and cheaper in the long run to just back up the MCH to USB now and recover the data that way for backup and future use in another NAS. Please go over to that thread and voice your support if you think this is a useful feature. There is now a suggestion thread on running Tailscale natively in the My Cloud Home over in the ‘ideas’ subforum. The installation of Tailscale which is free for personal use will allow many features of the WD Discovery to be replaced by Tailscale desktop SMB integration. For more information, please refer to Answer ID 34991: How to Enable Local Network Access to Data on My Cloud Home and ibi Using the Dashboard. Local Network Access: (Windows) or Finder (macOS). The My Cloud Home Android and iOS Mobile Apps can be downloaded from the following: If you used the desktop app to access your files stored on your My Cloud Home device, you will now need to access them in one of the following ways: Local drive mounting via WD Discovery for My Cloud Home desktop app will no longer be supported. **When is support ending?** Support will end in June 2023 WD Discovery will continue to function and be supported for other compatible WD storage products. As new versions of operating systems are released, these features might stop working and will not be fixed. We will discontinue all development, including critical security updates and technical support. There will also no longer be any new releases or security updates for My Cloud Home on WD Discovery. WD Discovery will no longer support My Cloud Home devices. CORRECTION, on second read, it does look like desktop network support will stop in June 2023 which means even if WD Discovery is still running, there will be no mounted REMOTE drive and the remote will not show on the desktop, however locally mounted MCH is unaffected.It may be possible that WD Discovery desktop could keep running on 64 bit Windows for many more years with nearly full functionality, but don’t count on it. It does look like WDC has decided that desktop (Win File Explorer and mac Finder) integration is not something they can keep developing and support given the many changes to the operating system (mainly macOS AFP and SMB security updates). This has been mentioned but not posted in detail with a solution on its own.
