Welcome to your complete Self-Hosting Security Guide 🔒
If you’re running Unraid, Docker, Proxmox, or any homelab server, security should be your #1 priority. In this video, we cover the essential tools and strategies you need to protect your setup:
- Why exposed ports are dangerous
- How VPNs (WireGuard, Tailscale, OpenVPN) protect admin panels
- Using Reverse Proxies (Nginx Proxy Manager, Traefik, Caddy) for SSL & safe access
- Firewalls & IDS/IPS to block constant scanning attacks
- Cloudflare Tunnels for remote access without open ports
Too many self-hosters rush to open ports for Plex, Overseerr, or Nextcloud. Bots are scanning 24/7 — so let’s lock things down.
💡 Key takeaway: Layered defence wins. Don’t expose what doesn’t need exposing.
