Not Secure | https://xxx.xxx.x.x/admin/ Using a ReadyNAS 2100
Hello,
I am using Chrome and when I go to log in my 2100, I get "Not Secure | https://xxx.xxx.x.x/admin/". I have concerns that something is wrong and I do not know how to correct my problem. I also get a message "Your connection is not private" and offers to go back to safty or proceed to xxx.xxx.x.x(unsafe).
My System:
Windows 10 Pro on all computers
My Network:
3 Desktop computers and 3 laptop computers using a Netgear ReadyNAS 2100v2
Desktop computers are cabled and the laptop are wifi
All software is upto date
ReadyNAS:
firmware version 4.2.30
Any help on my concerns would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Bob Merritt

You're confusing unsigned certificate and unsecure connection.
Your browser is telling you that the SSL certificate was not signed by a Certificate Authority. But that doesn't mean the connection you're currently using is unsecure. It's only that the SSL certificate was self-signed by the NAS. Look in here, there are threads discussing this already. It's expected behavior for a device like a NAS.
Yes, it is technically vulnerable to attacks such as man-in-the-middle, bla bla bla, but let's be honest, it's a LAN device, so if the requirement of a properly signed certificate was mandatory, chances are that you would know how to deal with it.
