Flash Player Real Date of content blocking

[Pascal5F8D]

Hi,

I did a test with a computer for which I changed the date in the future. The result was that I could not access the Flash Player plugin anymore from Chrome and Edge after January 11th (so starting January 12th). 

Although I perfectly understand that Flash Player stops being supported on December 31st 2020 and that it is not secure to use it after that time, could you please confirm if my test is valid and that without doing any whitelising, Flash Player will continue to work until January 11th? 

Thank you!

That's probably not a valid test.  I don't think anyone can guarantee it will hold up because Windows and the browsers will send out their own kill switches when the time comes.

Flash Player EOL was January 1st.  We allowed for a grace period so that system administrators that were surprised by Flash EOL would have time to get back from their winter vacations and make any last minute changes required.  We're at the end of that grace period now, and Flash Player will no longer load content from the open web.
