[Help] I can't seem to get this ???? thing to work.

I am having problems that I am so tired of trying to figure out. I have my F$-423 all upgraded to the latest software so I have that going for me. I can log in and use everything in TOS. and the TNAS PC and Android apps seem to work OK. Its just those bleeping apps on the NAS that I can't seem to get to work. I have not tried any of the backup apps, but I really don't care about them right now. I am able to SSH into the NAS so that works, but everything goes wrong from there. The one thing that is really torquing me off is the fact that the server cert will not allow any of the browsers to see a secure connection. Then I want to be able to use the Apache Tomcat server or the Web server, but neither work. Connection is always refused. The surveillance manager won't find my camera. Plex will not open, but have not tried the other media server. I got Git installed and a repo made, but not sure I can post back to it from windows. And the list goes on. I am not sure what to do, but I am sick of things not working. Please help before I go insane.

Regarding server certificates, the NAS only provides the TNAS.online certificate for remote access by default. Within the local area network, your browser accesses the server via the LAN IP address, which does not match the certificate. This does not affect normal usage. You can use HTTP or bypass the HTTPS security warning. If you are particularly concerned, you can upload your own certificate or edit the hosts file located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc directory. Add the following line to your hosts file:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx abc.tnas.link.
Then use the custom domain name instead of the LAN IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to access HTTPS in your browser.

For Apache Tomcat and Web Server, open the APP Center and ensure the services are enabled. Please provide screenshots illustrating the issues you encounter.

Please specify your camera model and verify with the manufacturer whether it supports ONVIF or RTSP.

If this is your first time installing and using Plex, it may be retrieving and generating relevant directories. You can check if related processes are running.

Regarding Git, generally, you can refer to the relevant operations for Ubuntu. Additionally, please be careful not to accidentally delete or overwrite system files.

Given the multiple issues you've mentioned, it's possible an unseen anomaly exists. Please collect a system report and send it to the support email for inspection. (Technical Support - Report Issues)
