First of all, how a VPN works is. VPNs are basically encrypted proxy servers.

A VPN client (after encrypting them, of course) forwards all of your data to the VPN server, where it is decrypted and the server executes the request. This request returns content, and that content is forwarded (after being encrypted) back to the VPN client, where you decrypt the return content and read it.

The problem I think I see is that your NAS device is on your Local Area Network (LAN). This means that the hostname (mynas) is on your router‘s DNS.

This is means means access device hostname (mynas), as long as you are asking the router for the IP of the NAS (all hostnames need to be converted into an IP address with a DNS in order for requests to happen).

Only the router knows where on Earth (or in this case the internet) mynas is.

The problem

Your VPN server doesn’t ask your router for DNS (that’s normal).
Instead, it asks something like Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8).

This means that it won’t ask your router to access its DNS database.

router is is person ( DNS ) knows NAS locally . Google DNS is throws ( assumed VPN server fetch IPs ) throws error VPN server , saying findmynas.

How to fix this problem

you is want want access NAS typing browserhttp://mynas/ or ftp://mynas, you need to register the domain mynas. I hate to break it to you, but that’s not possible. There needs to be a suffix like .com.

However, what you can do is you can register a public (instead of local) domain name (eg. mynas.com) so that any DNS (including Google’s) will know where to find the NAS.

Yay! Everyone can find the IP of the NAS from anywhere (including the VPN server)!

Ways to solve this problem

You probably don’t want to get a domain name just for your NAS (do you?), making that option invalid (but you could get one for free from Freenom)

FINAL ANSWER : You is use use VPN access local area network . point thing . reason use VPN accessing NAS network :
* want hide IP address devices ( you is logging logging ? you is trust trust privacy ? )
* want demonstrate trust VPN service provider
* You is want want traffic happen internet

As you can see, both these excuses are pretty lame :D. (What I am trying to say is don’t use a VPN to access some device on your local network)
