Enabling HTTPS for LAN access

[beckyboo]

Hello all, I'm new to BlueIris and still finding my way around. I accidentally stumbled upon it when I was looking for iSpy help. This beat anything else I have seen so far but not I am trying to fine tune it, I have a few issues.

I have installed v4.6.4.12 x64 which is licenced and I am trying to connect over the LAN using HTTPS.
I have installed Stunnel and configured it, it says its running fine on the task bar.

When I try to browse to https://10.11.4.108:8443 it just times out.
I have restarted BlueIris but it does not correct it. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

Okay I have managed to progress on with this after a bit of trial and error. I had not entered the servers IP address into the config file! Such a simple error.
My config now reads:

;TLS front-end to a web server
[https]
accept = 10.11.4.108:8443
connect = 10.11.4.108:81
cert = stunnel.pem
;"TIMEOUTclose = 0" is a workaround for a design flaw in Microsoft SChannel
;Microsoft implementations do not use TLS close-notify alert and thus they
; are vulnerable to truncation attacks
TIMEOUTclose = 0

Just one issue now remains. Why is my browser saying the site isn't secure?

If your browser is presenting you with a screen saying that your certificate is not signed by an approved authority (or something similar) that is to be expected since you are likely using a self-signed certificate. You can usually just add an exception once and then not be prompted for that warning again. If it is primarily just you or a few people using the site then that warning is just a mild annoyance. If you want to get rid of it, then you'll need to get a signed certificate from an authority. Some are free (like Let's Encrypt) while others charge a fee.
