  Their workaround is 'local access', where you create an account to connect to your NAS over the local network. Where it is physically located. Which honestly raises more questions than it answers.

  There's also a reference to their devices being factory reset remotely with attendant loss of data.

  So overall, it would seem that western digital don't know what the hell they're doing.
