Update cURL on ReadyNas Duo v1?
Hi, Is there anyway to update cURL so TLS 1.2 works on a ReadyNas Duo v1? Thanks

Ok, and what command/action exactly is failing for you? WordPress itself should work - although there's no recent PHP version available so you'd probably find yourself stuck with PHP 5.6. Other than that I currently don't see why WordPress shouldn't work. Can you give me a list of the software installed on your ReadyNAS either manually or by way of add-ons, please. If you feel the information to be too sensitive for public display you can send it via PM.

Doing a factory reset now, so i don't have the logs available however anything that uses cURL on wordpress throws TLS handshake errors for e.g attempting to download plugins, RSS Feeds and calls to the Wordpress API.
From reading the Wordpress documentation a minimum of curl 7.34.0 is required for TLS 1.2 on wordpress.
I'll send more info once i re-install everthing again.
WhoCares_ so from the error data I collected, it looks that the problem lies with outdated cURL Version. Current on the NAS it's running 7.21.0 and needs updating to cURL version 7.34.0 or higher.
When attempting to download plugins or updates through Wordpress you receive the following error from WP:
Installation failed: Download failed. cURL error 28: gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS fatal alert has been received.
WP Dashboard Errors with Feeds:
RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: cURL error 28: gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS fatal alert has been received.
Php error log shows the following:
[01-Apr-2021 13:11:36 UTC] PHP Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/forums/">support forums</a>. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /c/www/kotoracademy/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 184
Finally I installed the TLS 1.2 Compatibility Test plugin, here are the results:
Hope this helps you better understand what the problem is.
