They are only proxying if you’ve chosen to use RELAY mode in setting up your Cloud. If you’re using Port-forwarding, the connection is direct from your device to your NAS – WD’s servers are only used to proxy a hostname.
Not sure how you get that. All port forwarding does is change the local ports the WD servers connect to at your house (or where ever you have the WD device). This is relevant if you cannot accept traffic on the standard ports of 80 and 443, which some ISP’s block so you don’t serve up websites from your home network. All traffic from what I see is being routed through the WD servers and hence they are acting as a full proxy. All you need to do is troll through the log files on the WD Cloud device to confirm what I am telling you.
Another way to check if they were providing hostname resolution only, is to take your device name and ping it from an internet connection. If what you say is true it would resolve to your home IP address, which it does not. Happy to discuss in PM further if you want.
UPDATE: I stand corrected. By using the port forward, I have confirmed that it bypasses the WD service and connects directly to the device itself. Thanks Tony for following up. :)
how sad is it that WD still is airing commercials for the MY CLOUD and at the same time they cannot even fix what they continue to try and sell…WHAT NERVE…

day 5 with a brick! shame on you WD… Shame on the Mods on this **bleep**ing board… no information beside “sorry, we are working…”.
WD: never again!
What else should they say.
The only convincing action would be a radical departure from their whole software concept, and this is not going to happen
im still without access using sky hub from the midlands uk, this is very frustrating I would have thought WD would have been on top of things with them being a big name… im still under my 14day return policie
