connect to readynas with 4.x firmware which doesn't support TLS 2 or SMB 1.0

 

Readynas older versions

Notes about connecting to older Readynas 4.x isn't available with (or may not be) TLS 2 support.  Windows 10 has killed TLS below that.  admin page won't work even with warning.

The issue is Firefox (maybe other browsers) enforce this.  Not sure when that was also done with the system support, but undoubtedly will be there at some point.

Firefox setting:

bring up about:config, acknowledge warning

security.tls.version.max

security.tls.version.min

Set min to 1, so that will connect to 1.x web pages.  Max doesn't need to be changed in this case.

Windows SMB

 Windows 10 SMB may be set to not support 1.0.  in a home setting this may be used if the network is secured and not visible or available to outside or unauthorized connections.

hit windows button, type in "Turn Windows Features On or Off" or some portion till matching that.

scroll to SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support and check the box.  Apply.  May take some time but will have progress box.  took 3min on a win10 client on ESXI host.

about:config  security.tls.version.min = 1  leave max = 4 (as of ver 104 firefox)

foscam dvr and camera web plugins blocked by flash

In Firefox 52 (? I think) the flash execution is blocked by default.  There is no key present to disable the blocker in the Firefox config.  Instructions from Foscam support shows what to do go go round it.

If you are vulnerable to exploits this may allow malware to run flash exploits, so any PC this is installed on should be evaluated for public or even local exposure to malware.  Suggest no email, no browsing, limited lan exposure, or even private router natted if you are really paranoid.

****************
Firefox has just released new version 52.0, in this version it has disabled support for NPAPI plugin which Foscam and other manufactures are using.
