SSL / HTTPS for Admin UI

Adding users without encryption will expose user windows passwords to potentially localised malware etc.

 

This also forces Unraid admins to use VPN to provide remote access for support on ALL remote devices (Internet Cafes machines, smart phones etc.)

Also, while I agree with your first statement, that SSL is an improvement for local security, I really don't see a good reason to expose the admin UI to the internet without a VPN, even when we get SSL. Security is hard to get right, we have to be perfect all the time and the bad guys only have to get lucky once. The more layers the bad guys have to penetrate to get to my private data the better. A good VPN is just good security practice.

I realise this is off-topic, but are you allowed to give any indication of when this might happen?

I have no inside knowledge, I'm a user just like you, but with lots of experience.

 

My long experience tells me it will happen when it happens. No point in speculating or begging or whining or threatening, it just is.

 

If you want an educated guess, anywhere from 1 to 3 months away. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Ah, thought you might be part of their internal tester group or something, mainly as I hadn't heard anything about a UI overhaul.
