PiHole DNS (home network-wide ad blocking)Įverything listed above does not require the hardware I have but thankfully I have been fortunate enough to afford a pretty sweet and overkill system.
Please read more about both with the two links below:Īt the time of writing, my server does the following things. If you feel the need to be as secure as possible then you will need to do more leg work to set things up right. Security is a deep rabbit hole with many caveats. It is relatively safe to port forward to specific containers and virtual machines hosted by Unraid, however, if you at all plan on sharing your game servers with strangers you should highly consider setting up a reverse proxy for extra protection and other features. This will open up your server to attacks on the world wide web. Or, maybe you overbuilt your server and want to do more with it? Why not use those extra resources to host some dedicated game servers for yourself and your friends or family? Heads Up on Securityįirst off, you should know that you should never port forward ports 80 and 443 to your Unraid host (the Unraid WebGUI). You probably have some extra system resources on your Unraid NAS that you don't even know about.
