Can someone please help me figure out how to use DDNS services to configure my Node-RED server? I honestly don't know what I'm doing. I'm using noip.com 's DDNS services and I've gotten a hostname and installed the DUC on my RPi. The DUC is fully working, but every time I access the hostname on my RP…

[image] BrainBomber100: and I need to open up access to the Dashboard so that anyone can use it. So this is the dangerous part. Nobody in this forum will give you exact advise on how to do this because it could put us in a difficult position should you later get hacked. So any information her…

There is an article in the docs about securing. https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/runtime/securing-node-red

Yes, a VPN would be more secure but limited.. but if that is sufficient so be it. Establishing HTTPS connecity to your node red device is good step but not the end all. There are ways to compromise HTTPS, but that is not the real threat. It is a question of risk, to your local network, not the no…

I am nervous about software VPNs... given I only worked with hardware VPNs. Because the degree of risk with hardware VPNs is less, but it is not realistic to carry around a hardware VPN with your phone. :slight_smile: That said, there are many entities that use software VPNs... until they are com…

Well, you should start with a search through this forum as much has already been written. Subjects such as firewalls, reverse proxy's, TLS/SSL (HTTPS), secure websockets (wss), certificates and "Let's Encrypt" are all things that good web security practices will touch on so it can be a bit of a ste…

[image] BrainBomber100: do you think the RPi can act as it’s own firewall in place of the hardware one Yes it can and that is OK if the Pi is the only thing on your network. If not, it is better to have a firewall in the router which you will almost certainly have. [image] BrainBomber100: …

Not being familiar with NGROK... that was a really interesting read. The local network complexities aside, really interesting what NGROK does. The real weakness... is the end user (and kit), you are not kidding. Greatest protection in place, and one well crafted phishing email... all for not. If…

[image] Nodi.Rubrum: The local network complexities aside, really interesting what NGROK does It isn't the only tool like that but it is certainly the best known. You do, of course, have to trust the vendor but that is a small risk - tiny even - at least for personal use. I wouldn't be happy …

True, you always end up trusting someone, somewhere, somehow, with security designs. As for the local complexity... just reference to how I suggested he setup his local network, local firewall, etc. I am retired now, but before, yes, working for a fortune 50, countless hours validating firewall r…

[image] Nodi.Rubrum: local complexity... just reference to how I suggested he setup his local network, local firewall, etc. Ah, OK. But no need for that with NGROK since the client makes an outbound connection to the remote proxy. So no inbound connections needed which should be the default f…

Right, right, good point. What I did for my zoning, was because for me it was straight forward... and yes... why I did it was to isolate WIFI from my wired resources, definitely. I am not to the point that I plan to publish my node-red per se, but NGROK is on my list, appreciate the mention of it. …
