I recently set up my uNRAID 6.7.0 server to use SSL (use SSL/TLS = Auto).  I also have my router setup to use OpenVPN.  When I VPN into my home network, and try and type my server's IP (192.168.etc) into a browser, I get a SSL certificate warning and cannot proceed... see below.

I am assuming this is caused by a conflict between unRAID's SSL certificate and my router's?  Any way to mitigate the issue?  Before I had SSL turned on, I was always able to use this method...  Thanks for any advice!

You are getting the warning because you are accessing the website by ip address (whereas your certificate was issued to <some long hex>.unraid.net). 

When you try to access unRaid's webGUI from HTTP it will redirect you to <some long hex>.unraid.net where the certificate matches the domain. It looks like you are accessing unRaid's webGUI via HTTPS, so you're never redirected to the unraid domain and as such the certificate doesn't match.

Thanks for the explanation!  So, what's the solution?  Explicitly browse the web GUI via http, not https?

You could use

http://ip-address

and let it redirect, or use

http://tower

and let it redirect, or if you have a DNS server, use

http://tower.domain.com

and let it redirect. Or, without redirection, use

https://<some long hex>.unraid.net

I save the last one as a browser bookmark for quick access. Just avoid using

https://ip-address

and

https://tower

because of the certificate mismatch, as Cameron explained.

 

Thank you @John_M!  This is a very useful post.
