&lt;p&gt;Home server security is pretty often overlooked from what I can tell.
Any device accessible from the internet has &lt;em&gt;some&lt;&#x2F;em&gt; degree of
vulnerability in the current era of the internet. I aim for this
document to detail methods to amend the contemporary cybersecurity
challenges faced by most homelabbers.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course, my statements about home servers needing some security
measures put in place aren&#x27;t baseless. My own experience, as well as
that of a sizable number of people on the wonderful

on, and that login attempts to services like SSH &lt;em&gt;are&lt;&#x2F;em&gt; made. Here&#x27;s a
snippet from my &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fail2ban.org&quot;&gt;fail2ban&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; filter to

&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;&#x2F;code&gt;&lt;&#x2F;pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Within the past &lt;em&gt;few minutes&lt;&#x2F;em&gt;, I&#x27;ve already got a few IP addresses from
all over the world taking a peak at my services. If I had my SSH port
set to the standard &lt;code&gt;22&lt;&#x2F;code&gt;, I could have expected a few rogue login
attempts to have been made, too.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, speaking of not having my SSH port set to the standard &lt;code&gt;22&lt;&#x2F;code&gt;, I&#x27;ll
now move on to what you should be done to secure a home server. One
thing that I think should be noted, however, is that security doesn&#x27;t
need to be very strong, and you generally don&#x27;t need to go too far out
of your way with security measures (though this definitely depends on
invdividual circumstance). Honestly speaking, you &lt;em&gt;probably&lt;&#x2F;em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;don&#x27;t&lt;&#x2F;strong&gt;
have competent black hats looking to get in to your server - what you
probably &lt;strong&gt;do&lt;&#x2F;strong&gt; have, however, are a bunch of script kiddies and
perversive bots.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;h1 id=&quot;the-list&quot;&gt;The list&lt;a class=&quot;zola-anchor&quot; href=&quot;#the-list&quot; aria-label=&quot;Anchor link for: the-list&quot;&gt;#&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;&lt;&#x2F;h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fairly basic stuff you&#x27;d need to do in this case doesn&#x27;t make much
room for detail. So, here it all is in the form of a simple list (I&#x27;ve
included the relevant NixOS configuration where I think it&#x27;d be
useful&lt;sup class=&quot;footnote-reference&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#1&quot;&gt;1&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;&lt;&#x2F;sup&gt;):&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Move your SSH daemon to a non-default port, like &lt;code&gt;3291&lt;&#x2F;code&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;pre data-lang=&quot;nix&quot; style=&quot;background-color:#151515;color:#e8e8d3;&quot; class=&quot;language-nix &quot;&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;language-nix&quot; data-lang=&quot;nix&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;services&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;openssh &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= {
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;ports &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= [ &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#cf6a4c;&quot;&gt;3291 &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;]; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#888888;&quot;&gt;# whatever you like
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;};
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;&#x2F;code&gt;&lt;&#x2F;pre&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Force public key authentication with SSH and disable root logins.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;pre data-lang=&quot;nix&quot; style=&quot;background-color:#151515;color:#e8e8d3;&quot; class=&quot;language-nix &quot;&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;language-nix&quot; data-lang=&quot;nix&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;services&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;openssh&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;settings &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= {
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;PermitRootLogin &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#99ad6a;&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;no&amp;quot;&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;;
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;PasswordAuthentication &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= false;
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;};
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;&#x2F;code&gt;&lt;&#x2F;pre&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Set up a pretty basic firewall - something like &lt;code&gt;ufw&lt;&#x2F;code&gt; would do the trick.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;pre data-lang=&quot;nix&quot; style=&quot;background-color:#151515;color:#e8e8d3;&quot; class=&quot;language-nix &quot;&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;language-nix&quot; data-lang=&quot;nix&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;networking &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= {
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;nftables&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;enable &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= true; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#888888;&quot;&gt;# use the newer nftables
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;firewall &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= {
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;enable &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= true;
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;rejectPackets &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= true; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#888888;&quot;&gt;# explicit deny
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;interfaces&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;enp1s0 &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= { &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#888888;&quot;&gt;# obviously, replace `enp1s0` with your interface
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;allowedTCPPorts &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= [ ... ]; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#888888;&quot;&gt;# put in the ports you need here
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; };
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; };
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;};
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;&#x2F;code&gt;&lt;&#x2F;pre&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This probably doesn&#x27;t need to be said, but &lt;strong&gt;use strong passwords&lt;&#x2F;strong&gt;!&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Host a &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fail2ban.org&quot;&gt;fail2ban&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; instance to ban hosts making bruteforce attempts.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think that&#x27;s all there is for almost everyone, and is basically the
minimal amount of effort a home server administrator should do.
Personally, I would prefer to enforce a VPN connection in order to
access my &lt;em&gt;personal&lt;&#x2F;em&gt; services for that extra layer of security (because
why&#x27;d they need to be exposed to the internet?). This can be done faily
easily with tailscale, and for the slightly more paranoid -
&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;headscale.net&#x2F;&quot;&gt;headscale&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; is a
viable...alternative? Anyways, I&#x27;ve got a blog post that explores
headscale in a little more detail, which might be worth checking out.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, that&#x27;s all I wanted to say. It&#x27;s been a while since my last blog
post, and the inspiration for this one came seemingly randomly - I hope
someone finds this useful.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;footnote-definition&quot; id=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;footnote-definition-label&quot;&gt;1&lt;&#x2F;sup&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Naturally, you shouldn&#x27;t just copy and paste the snippets into&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;

&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;nftables&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;enable &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= true; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#888888;&quot;&gt;# use the newer nftables
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;firewall &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= {
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;enable &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= true;
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;rejectPackets &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= true; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#888888;&quot;&gt;# explicit deny
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;interfaces&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;enp1s0 &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= { &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#888888;&quot;&gt;# obviously, replace `enp1s0` with your interface
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffb964;&quot;&gt;allowedTCPPorts &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;= [ ... ]; &lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#888888;&quot;&gt;# put in the ports you need here
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; };
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt; };
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;};
&lt;&#x2F;span&gt;&lt;&#x2F;code&gt;&lt;&#x2F;pre&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This probably doesn&#x27;t need to be said, but &lt;strong&gt;use strong passwords&lt;&#x2F;strong&gt;!&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Host a &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fail2ban.org&quot;&gt;fail2ban&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; instance to ban hosts making bruteforce attempts.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think that&#x27;s all there is for almost everyone, and is basically the
minimal amount of effort a home server administrator should do.
Personally, I would prefer to enforce a VPN connection in order to
access my &lt;em&gt;personal&lt;&#x2F;em&gt; services for that extra layer of security (because
why&#x27;d they need to be exposed to the internet?). This can be done faily
easily with tailscale, and for the slightly more paranoid -
&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;headscale.net&#x2F;&quot;&gt;headscale&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; is a
viable...alternative? Anyways, I&#x27;ve got a blog post that explores
headscale in a little more detail, which might be worth checking out.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, that&#x27;s all I wanted to say. It&#x27;s been a while since my last blog
post, and the inspiration for this one came seemingly randomly - I hope
someone finds this useful.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;footnote-definition&quot; id=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;footnote-definition-label&quot;&gt;1&lt;&#x2F;sup&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Naturally, you shouldn&#x27;t just copy and paste the snippets into&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;div&gt;
