My Book Live Duo software revamp

[#1]

Hello All,

I have an idea for the My Book Live Duo software.

As we all know, if we want to enable web access to our devices, we have to login to the device from home and then add access, which goes through the WD servers.I think this setup is bad for the following reasons.

1) What if let's say WD goes out of business next year. How am I supposed to access my NAS?

2) The WD site is constantly giving me errors when I login to My Book from a remote PC Browser.

HTTP Status 404 - TCP relay failed - address for target domain not found

---

type Status report

message TCP relay failed - address for target domain not found

description The requested resource (TCP relay failed - address for target domain not found) is not available.

Now, I know it's not my router doing this because 1) if I refresh the page, sometimes the site will load My Book properly, and sometimes it'll give me the same error and 2) I've configured port forwarding with other devices in the past without issue. The software for my iPhone also fails to load my drive more times than not.

I really like this product, but I'm starting to get aggitated over this issue. I hope someone here can either provide a fix or implement this idea in the near future because this product is coming real close to getting shipped back to new egg.
