Hi, I'm assuming this is the best place to post,

 

I'm not great with this kind of stuff, and I thought I had installed a VPN on my desktop to be on all the time. As it happens, it wasn't connected.

So I wanted to do what I could and redo kind of "home security" by resetting my router's IP address, flushing DNS and reconfiguring the VPN app (PIA). I also installed the PIA browser extension and I wonder if this is where the issue came from, so I uninstalled it.

I now can't access the WebUI with the normal LAN IP address method on any browser. I can FTP in and use File Explorer, and I can even open plex via the <ipaddress>:port way, so it's connected, I scanned IP addresses on the network and it hasn't changed.

I think it keeps forcing https but I always assumed it was https not http.

I turned the VPN off completely and no improvement so it must be something I've done.

I tried using my Tailscale app from my phone but that doesn't seem to do it like it did before, and neither can I connect from my phone anyway.

 

I'm expecting to get laughed at for my attempts but I'm just going off google recommendations and trying to implement them, I have no prior knowledge of this subject so please give advice

 

Thanks

Just open your router to find the new IP address of your NAS.

If it's the same as before, check for ports that might not be open. Unraid GUI uses port 80.

Thanks for replying, the IP for the NAS had not changed, and I can now access the GUI. I thought I had deleted this post as it seemed to work when I stopped using the VPN.
