unable to access code-server

Posted on June 22, 2020

I’ve used https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/code-server but when I enter my droplet ip address on the browser I get a message saying it’s not safe to continue and the browser blocks me from going further.

Can you please help?

Hi @gmac353,

Since you need to use the droplet’s IP address and it gets redirected to HTTPS. Unfortunately, you can’t have an SSL or a secure connection via HTTPS. I think this is a common issue with Mozilla’s browser. If you try out with a Chrome browser does it work properly?

I’ve configured the droplet as well and I can confirm with a Chrome browser I was able to bypass the insecure connection warning message.
