Unable to access Synology local network via Chrome on macOS Sequoia fix - Andy's Blog

What’s Going On?

After upgrading to macOS Sequoia, I had trouble accessing my local network Synology web portal using Chrome.

It works perfectly on Safari but just stopped working on Chrome, so I guess there is something wrong with Chrome’s permission settings on macOS Sequoia, which needs me to modify the privilege.

After researching the web, I realised it was because macOS Sequoia is now asking for permission for apps to search local network devices, if you are not permitting a specific app, it will not be able to communicate with your local network devices which causes this trouble. I will not be able to access my local network Synology NAS web portal via Chrome because I did not permit it on macOS Sequoia settings.

So fix?

1. Go to System Settings on macOS Sequoia

2. Privacy & Security, Local Network

   

3. Switch on the permission for Chrome

   

4. Done.
