I like unraid and have my own specific uses for it and one thing I feel I should have more control over is the security of it. Can I change the security levels on it? I'd like to get rid of the 3 times and you're out login.  This is really driving me mad.  I fly for a living and on the move a lot. 90% of the time I access my unraid the information is already saved and it auto fills and lets me in. This time it didn't and did the 3 times you're out.  Everything in my life has a password and login.  You can say its for security but I call it a major annoyance I have to go through this and then deal with the fallout of me not being able to remember what it is because I don't use it that often.  Right now I need access and having an issue getting it.  And there's been ZERO, absolutely ZERO, attempts by anyone try and access it to delete or manage my plex setup.  How can I go about changing these "security" features that only make my life with it more difficult? I'm willing to accept the consequences of me and only me ever accessing it. What does a 15 minute window even do?  So if someone wanted in they go grab a coffee?  I want that gone and I want the 3 time limit gone. If I have to sit here and guess for a bit that's for me to decide.

So it sounds like you've forwarded the ports to allow you direct access to the OS without going through a reverse proxy or VPN?  

 

If this is the case, it's not a matter of absolutely zero attempts to access it, but only a matter of WHEN someone will access it.  Without the 15 minute timeout, all any script kiddie has to do (once they find the open port, which they will) is simply keep trying passwords until they succeed.  Doesn't matter how hard of a password it is, brute force will always eventually succeed.  15 minutes massively slows them down.  And, no it cannot be disabled without modifying the code / internal config files etc

 

6.10+ has the philosophy of security over convenience due to the current world which we live in.
