FVS336G v2 Logon GUI
Dear Netgear community.
I have purchased a second hand Dual WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336G v2.
When I connect the device on local port-1 with my PC,
I get the IP address 192.168.1.2
When I open the internet browser Chrome, Mozilla, or Microsoft ...
I get always the message that the secure HTTPS is bad.
I tried it on several PC's window 7, windows 10.
When I start a telnet session on 192.168.1.1
I have response from the CLI and can logon to the device.
I did a factory reset via the rear device button and via telnet...
but still no connection via my browser to the GUI.
How can I corect it ?
Thanks, Rudi
Please see the attached picture.
Did you receive ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH error, or just usual "You are not securely connected to this site" warning due to self-sign SSL certificate?
If it is SSL version error, please use browser (e.g. Firefox, Pale Moon) which still allows legacy version of SSL.
If it is warning about self-signing certificate (ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID), please select Advanced and ignore the warning.
Thanks.

Dear Expert,
Sorry for the long delay, but I can confirm that the first issue was the problem.
After downloading the portable version of the "Palemoon browser" (https://www.palemoon.org/) , I could connect to the device.
I'm very happy and thank You for your advise.
Many Thanks,
Rudi
