Workaround for ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH problem for Sparc NAS (4.1.x firmware)
This workaround eliminates the redirection of http://nas-name-or-ip/admin to https://nas-name-or-ip/admin for NAS running 4.1.x firmware. It does require ssh to install.
Entering https://nas-na...

What NAS model and what firmware is it running? Did you install one of the two add-ons or did you edit virtual.conf?

Hi Stephen,
Its a NAS Duo V1 running the 4.1.17 mod https://community.netgear.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/readynas-general/message-id/47827
, which I use to backup my Unraid self built NAS. I edited virtual.conf (both) the one in etc/frontview/apache
and one in etc/default/etc/frontview/apache.
The change worked as I no longer get the error ssl msg and got the correct response when I restarted frontview.
Since I only use it as a backup it's not a bit deal as I power it on once a week run a RSYNC from my Unraid server then
power off backup NAS with a curl script. I've tried chrome/edge & firefox all the same this site can't be reached refused to connect.Cheers

Have you tried using ssh, and then looking at the logs? Maybe also try restarting apache and see what happens.

Yes have rebooted unit, can ssh ok, odd but since making the change my curl script to shutdown Netgear NAS stopped working.
reverted to original scripts and back to normal with SSL error bur Curl script works again , downloaded an earlier version of Firefox and enabled TLS for access to admin frontview.
Will play about to try and resolve when I have more time.
Cheers

The easiest solution I've found for accessing older browser based devices is to simply use a portable version of the older browser it requires. Firefox 52 ESR 32-bit has done well for me for all these including both my Netgear NAS units.
