Hallo guys, I am new here.
I think I have read all forum topics regarding internet access to unraid tower. However, now I am really confused what is secure and what is totally insecure.
Based on this message enable ftp is alright :http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2112.msg15539#msg15539
however here they say no: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37207.msg344228#msg344228
for this reason, I would like if somebody could clarify the security problems once for all.
It is clear that the UNRAID was not made for internet access, however, I think for many people the main purposes will be Owncloud and plex,thus it is necessary to access server from everywhere.
Currently, I am running owncloud and plex on ubuntu server, what runs very smoothly over internet, nevertheless I would like to use the virtualization possibility of unraid server.
What I want to achieve:
Running owncloud which I would be able to access through the internet without the necessity of using VPN (I use owncloud on PCs in university where I can not change the connection) -> as I have done it now: ddns,port forwarding port 443 to server, apache redirects the incoming request based on its name to owncloud with https (ssl). Is such an approach secure in case of unraid?
acces user shares over the internet, possibly without vpn
use virtual machines over the internet (just ssh is sufficient) where already I can use VPN
My question on you guys is:
what is secure and what not to use over the internet.
I would be very sad if only the possibility to access the server over the internet is VPN (it is inconvenient on every pc I am working with to set up vpn).
Is it still vulnerable against hackers if I use owncloud with https?
Thank you for any kind of comment!
Thank you!
