UNRAID supports port-forwarding during login.
I need to explore options for securing your Unraid server and dockers. There are ways to restrict access without exposing internal IPs directly. You might consider using a reverse proxy or a web application firewall to filter requests before they reach your services. Checking if your chosen web apps support authentication could also help block unauthorized attempts. If you're open to external tools, solutions like cloudflare or custom scripts can add an extra layer of protection. Start by reviewing your current setup and see what features are available within the Unraid ecosystem.
I rely on a Fortigate firewall equipped with built-in VPN capabilities. I set up a connection via Forticlient and can reach my internal network. An alternative approach is restricting access solely to specific WAN IPs from your home WAN, preventing exposure of your home network to public IPs. Firewalls can handle these requirements, though costs may vary. Consider exploring internal VPN options such as OpenVPN for a suitable solution.
I found it a bit too intricate. A VPN connection is safe and setting it up can be tricky... Sometimes you overlook the simplest options. Appreciate you bringing this to my attention.
