ReadyNASs 314 privacy error when connecting with Chrome
Two of my disks died and for some reason I got no warning. Luckily I had everything backed up!
I wound up completely reinstalling the system and installed 4 new drives. In the process, I have now confused Chrome so that when I go to the ReadyNAS, Chrome will flat out not let me in! (note there is no option to continue at your own risk😞
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information fromandraia(for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).Learn more
andraia normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Google Chrome tried to connect to andraia this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be andraia, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Google Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.
You cannot visit andraia right now because the website sent scrambled credentials that Google Chrome cannot process. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.
I had to trick Chrome and go to the IP address instead of the hostname to be able to login at all.
1) I need to be able to access this by hostname as I can never remember the IP address
2) I would love to be able to install an SSL certificate so I don't get the nag when I login.

So here is the solution...
I was trying to log into https://myNas which was giving me fits on Chrome. All I had to do was go to http://myNas, accept the certificate, and now I can access it normally. Sheesh, what a PITA!
Re: ReadyNASs 314 privacy error when connecting with Chrome
Your NAS does have an SSL certificate, it's just self-generated. Since you re-installed, and especially if the IP address changed, you probably need to re-generate it (go to System > Settings > Services and select the HTTPS button), and that may get you back to where you were. A standard SSL certificate cannot be used on a private network, and the self-signed one is still going to give you a strong warning, but you should be able to click through it. If not, you may need to change your Chrome security preferences.
I'm pretty sure Chrome first uses the Windows Hosts file for DNS look-up, so putting an entry there may also help. You can find instructions by Googling.
Re: ReadyNASs 314 privacy error when connecting with Chrome
I've replaced the SSL certificate. Chrome is not having any problem finding the ReadyNAS so it's not a DNS problem. Believe me, I have Googled for this.
FWIW, it is working more or less as expected in Safari.
Ok.
The normal behavior with Chrome is to get a security warning when you open the browser, and then connect to the NAS. As @Sandshark says, that is because the certificate is self-signed, and therefore can't be verified. Clicking on "advanced" will give you an option to connect anyway. Chrome will remember that selection for a while, so subsequent connections to the NAS won't give you that warning.
That behavior would be the same for the IP address as it is for the hostname though (and of course you can click-through) - so does sound like Chrome is confused.
Have you tried connecting incognito? If that works, try clearing the browser cache and maybe reboot the PC.
