swamiforlife Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Hello, Is there any way i can restrict access to Unraid shares to only a few specific IP addresses on my network? We use this at our work for backups and i dont want everyone to be able to see or access the shares. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Normally you would set the shares in question to export : yes (hidden) and security private. Only user names listed would be able to access them, and they would not show up as a browseable share, you would have to explicitly type the share name to connect. Is there some reason that's not working for you? Quote Link to comment
swamiforlife Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 That is working fine for me. But i dont want other users on the network to probe or see that this server exists. But maybe i am over analyzing the situation. Quote Link to comment

Thats practically impossible on the same network. As @JonathanM said, thats a good way. Otherwise iptables would be a friend. Quote Link to comment
swamiforlife Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 Does Unraid OS have a built-in firewall? Quote Link to comment

We use this at our work for backups and i dont want everyone to be able to see or access the shares. If that Unraid server is purely for backup and not being accessed by anyone on the network, would running it on a different network work for you? eg. Your main network is 192.168.0.x Setup this backup server as 10.10.10.x Then those that you would give access to that backup server would have a dual ip address in both ranges. 1 Quote Link to comment
swamiforlife Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 I guess then i will just create a separate vlan for the unraid server and then only have the file servers be able to communicate with the Unraid Vlan. 1 Quote Link to comment
