Someone please help me understand this? What if I don't wanna associate my keys and my home installs with my unraid forum account? I really like my privacy honestly and what is is my home have no business being associated with any cloud or external servers. This is a very slippery slope and I just don't like it. Is there an option to continue be offline just the way I am right now? I just don't want to be part of this new ecosystem unraid is creating. I trust my privacy and I trust no one, I am sorry..... And there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t support both ways of activating / running unraid. I should not be forced to connect with you if I have a valid key.
I also do not like where this is heading. One of the reasons I chose unraid is because how I can keep it local. The less I put out to the open world, the better. If this is the way forward, I will be staying on 6.9 until I can find and implement a solution that lets me off the cloud as much as possible.

I think that it's heading in the way that we will be required to log in to this new control panel to be able to use our license. Even just once, that is a concern for me.
Even in the initial post, its stated that it's "necessary", but optional. What is wrong allowing your customers to do it the current way?
But in the bigger picture, there is a lack of communication about what data is sent and/or received while the accounts are connected. Is it just the key? Server status? How many files you have stored? What kind of files you have stored? Computer specs? Your network map? More? All of these things are easily doable.
It's a privacy concern for people that don't want a constant connection to Limetech. It can allow them to collect data without you knowing. And who knows what data they would collect because none of it is explained.
Also, what if Limetech gets hacked? They now have access to everyone's server. If SSH is enabled, that itself could cause absolute destruction of your server. That, in itself, is a VERY good reason why I don't want any kind of connection to my server. Also, have a read if the links in the quote below. The Qnap one happened only a month or 2 ago.
Convenience is one thing, but security is another.
