***Solved*** Windows PC "refused to connect" to Tower

[ChipBuffalo]

I think that it's been about 2 weeks since I have logged into the unRaid dashboard through my PC, but all of the sudden the connection is refused. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed on my end, other than AVG recently had a big update but I turned off it's firewall and protection completely to ensure that was not the problem, and no help. 

 

Plex works fine, from home and remotely. I can even navigate the folders through Windows Explorer, but trying to log in through the web I get denied.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...

What is your PC running?  (most of the time, this problem is on the PC side of the equation!)

 

I realized that this appears to be a failure to access the Unraid GUI using a Web Browser. 

 

Try using the GUI boot option in the Unraid boot menu.  Then go to the     Settings    >>>  Management Access     There look at the "Use SSL/TLS:" setting and the "Local access URLs:" info.  Turn on the help for both of these.  (Clicking on the 'label' will display the 'Help' for each...)

Thank you @Frank1940, I forgot to mention that my PC is Win 2011, I also have a laptop running 2011, which stopped connecting as well. I will give your advice a shot and report asap.

Hello @Frank1940, sorry for long delay in following up here, but work took me out of town for weeks. I turned "Use SSL/TLS" to yes, and now I can connect to my tower from PC, but it is flagging it as "unsecured", I believe that is because of the re-direct. Any way, I am all good to go now and thank you for your help.
