I use a WD My Book Live(MBL) as a NAS more specific as music server. It streams my music to my phone over my LAN and when I am abroad I can listen to the music over the internet using the My Cloud app.
Generally the control light on the MBL is blue, power save mode. A few weeks ago it turned green, meaning a connection; it turned out I could not connect over the internet, but on the LAN it was still working.
Logging into the setup: http://mybooklive/UI/login, settings, remote access I read: cannot establish remote access (error 31520).
Interesting message....and of course the web has the answer: https://community.wd.com/t/cannot-establish-remote-connection-error-31520/248385/38
To connect from outside the connection is a VPN using a certificate. WD has replaced that certificate, without notification! Solution: o replace the old certificate with the new one.
This will do the trick:

This will do the trick:
- enable SSH: http://mybooklive/UI/ssh
- ssh user@mybooklive
- go to /usr/local/orion/openvpnclient
- rename ca.crt to ca.crt.old
- copy the attached ca.crt.txt and rename to ca.crt
- chmod 774 ca.crt
- Set your Remote Access as Automatic on your MyBookLive daskboard and Reboot the My Book Live from the dashboard.
- You can verify proper operation of the cert by checking the log file using this command cat /var/log/openvpn.out
Working! Problem solved.
