Calibre server security
Hi!
I want to run a Calibre server for my family who live out of the home. I just want to know if its safe to have it exposed to the internet through port 8080. I will have it running through a Raspberry pi through the GUI because I am not tech savy enough to do it through command prompt. I will also have the usernames and passwords set up. Do I need to overly worry about it? and if I do is there something easy I can do to secure it more? |

Setup a VPN server on your router and have the remote users log into a VPN. Many but not all routers have this feature.

If you have usernames and passwords setup you will be fine, the only caveat is that you should also setup a certificate (https) for maximum security. If not your connection to it will not be encrypted.
