Yes, still receive that message, even with the VM option set.

It's an ugly story, but a Win 7 update Monday broke Flash, so the VSphere

client stopped working (was OK on Win10). Unfortunately the flash and pepper

plugins were total failures on Debian 8.9 too (yes, I upgraded, downgraded, tried every

permutation). And unfortunately the HTML5 version of the VSphere app doesn't permit

editing of, for example, that vmxnet3 parameter for mitigation of

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191201#c49

So, cursing like a Viking, I installed Ubuntu 17.04 (it's Debian-based he said sheepishly....).

And lo and behold, if you upgrade Flash and firefox to the most recent levels

(but nothing older than that...) VSphere web client works again.

Flash has been annoying me for years now. Glad it's on the way out.....Nick G
