Just accept the SSL certificate. On Google Chrome, click on **Proceed to 192.168.x.y (unsafe)** as marked in the screenshot below. ![watermark_type_ZmFuZ3poZW5naGVpdGk_shadow_10_text_aHR0cHM6Ly9ibG9nLmNzZG4ubmV0L2FsbHdheTI_size_16_color_FFFFFF_t_70 22][] Now, you should be able to see the Proxmox VE web management interface.
