Can Not Access Unraid GUI When Internet Is Down Help!

[I Enjoy Creating Videos]

Hello, the other day i had a internet outage and i found out i can not login to my unraid GUI when the internet was down i even tried https://tower  http:/tower http://192.168.x.x and so on all of them will direct me back to some long numbers and letters followed by a .unraid.net address at the end. my unraid server has its drives encrypted so it uses the lets encrypt certificate that unraid gives you but when the internet is down it can't find it so how do i copy that or make a work around so i can get access to my server when it is not online? Thank you

Go to https://ip address and accept the warning

Sorry to re-hash this and/or ask a dumb question here, but I'm not able to get this to work. I have 2 Unraid servers, and the one I need access to runs a pfSense VM, so obviously losing DNS causes an issue. I'd really like to keep it using SSL cert. I have tried https://ip but I get a ngix error, page not found after accepting warning. 

 

In the linked info, I see this:

f Use SSL/TLS is set to Yes, then you can access your server using: https://[servername].[localTLD] 
or https://[servername].[localTLD]:<https_port> (if your https port is not the default of 443)

 

What exactly is [localTLD] ? Is there another way to access the server without turning off SSL? I have piHole docker(s), can I add my servers hashed address to that with the local IP?

local TLD is .com .org in most homes it can be .local

you use pfsense so more than likely if you did not change it, it is .lan

See Settings -> Management Access -> Local TLD

Sure, if you can get the url to resolve to the correct IP that should be fine. Just don't forget that you did this  down the road if your IP changes it will no longer be dynamic.
