Accessing my unRAID server remotely

[kapperz]

Since when is FTP secure? It sends the password in clear text as does telent, last time I checked.

Now if you are running ssh and sftp, then at least that is more secure.

 

Does vsftp use SFTP? I think proFTPd is needed for this, right? I don't have FTP access on my unRaid working yet  :'(

 

I personally use port knocking on my tomato router to open up the FTP port which I think is a good setup.

What about using VPN software like Hamachi to access your unRAID files?  Is something like that possible?

What about using VPN software like Hamachi to access your unRAID files?  Is something like that possible?

 

I don't believe so.  Not at this time anyway.  I believe that unRaid is missing 1 or more kernel modules needed to get Hamachi to run on Linux.  See http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=477.0

What about using VPN software like Hamachi to access your unRAID files?  Is something like that possible?

I've not tried these, but here are links to a couple of possibilities  Both would need to be configured for your needs.

(They were apparently compiled under Slackware 10, but will probably work):

 

http://www.tinc-vpn.org/

http://tintuc.no-ip.com/linux/slackpkg/10.0/pkg/tinc-1.0.4-i486-1.tgz

 

After downloading to my packages directory, logging in, and typing

cd /boot/packages

installpkg tinc-1.0.4-i486-1.tgz

I get this when invoking it looking for built-in help

root@Tower:/boot/packages# tincd --help
Usage: tincd [option]...

  -c, --config=DIR           Read configuration options from DIR.
  -D, --no-detach            Don't fork and detach.
  -d, --debug[=LEVEL]        Increase debug level or set it to LEVEL.
  -k, --kill[=SIGNAL]        Attempt to kill a running tincd and exit.
  -n, --net=NETNAME          Connect to net NETNAME.
  -K, --generate-keys[=BITS] Generate public/private RSA keypair.
  -L, --mlock                Lock tinc into main memory.
      --logfile[=FILENAME]   Write log entries to a logfile.
      --pidfile=FILENAME     Write PID to FILENAME.
      --help                 Display this help and exit.
      --version              Output version information and exit.

Another possibility is

 

http://openvpn.net/

http://tintuc.no-ip.com/linux/slackpkg/10.0/pkg/openvpn-2.0.5-i486-1.tgz

 

It too installs as above using

installpkg openvpn-2.0.5-i486-1.tgz

 

Invoking it using

openvpn --help

gives hundreds of command line options for its use.

VPN Tunnel terminated on your router might be an option,  that would give you access to your whole home network.

 

You'll need some kind of dynamic DNS setup if your ISP doesn't provide you with a static IP.

Sorry, but how exactly do you use this to allow access from the outside world?

[madburg]

You cannot teach someone to secure a service via a forum thread.

 

I disagree.  It depends on how good a teacher the person doing the teaching is.

 

Knock yourself out then Just keep in mind there could be irreplaceable content on the box that relies on you and the end user getting it 100% and nothing going wrong ever.

 

All this coming only weeks after a huge security hole in the 100% safe never could be broken implementation of Debian ssh. Personally thats a responsibility i think no one should take onboard.

FTP your smoking crazy to open port 21. I just looked up vsftp, what is the default setup in unRAID

anonymous_enable=YES or No?

TLS/SSl Encryption? To enable the TLS/SSL security controls, the vsftpd version must have been compiled with its support. IS it complied to support in unRAID?

To find out if your version has been compiled with SSL support, execute the following command at the prompt: ldd /usr/sbin/vsftpd | grep ssl

Does not look like it: libssl.so.0 => /lib/libssl.so.0 (0xb7679000)

 

Open what you need too stream content, but knowing they will be using the same account to do so as well. So make sure that account can only do that (access movies, etc…). Make sure that account is not privileged (configuration, write/deleted, etc…) to do anything else and cant access data that IS important to you on unRAID, have a separate account for that access and only use it internally. You’re playing with fire with ANYTHING you open to the outside world. This has been proven over and over again.
