Just a few questions, from a noob with no command line knowledge. 

 

So I've got this set up with sonarr, cp, nzbget etc.. working with [email protected] and have it password protected. 

My Web address is https://[email protected] adding /nzbget or /sonarr etc...  at the end.

 

Is this correct and have I set up it all properly, or should it be https://sonarr.mydomain.duckdns.org

 

Also by running my dockers through letsencrypt, does this give them better security when they  connect to the Internet or is the security just for me when I connect to them from outside my network.

Do I still need to enable ssl, https, and proxy settings in each docker as well for better security.

 

Basically I want the best security I can get for my nzbget or sabnzbd so any help, hints or tips much appreciated. 

 

P.S. Can unraid guide be run through nginx and have https security.

Your setup is fine, it improves security when you connect to those apps from outside your LAN, it does nothing for how those apps connect to the internet themselves.  I don't use https/SSL on any of these apps, I implement all that at the Lets Encrypt reverse proxy level.

 

Don't even think of putting your Unraid webui on the reverse proxy, if you want to connect to that outside your LAN, then setup a VPN.

Thanks squid, I bet you know more than me about reverse proxy stuff! 

Seriously doubt it.  Been meaning to look into it to make things a hair easier for the wife, but I'm perfectly happy with using a VPN, and have trouble grasping why she doesn't get the concept....

That's the next thing on my "need to learn" list, vpn setup. :)

Thanks CHBMB, I know nothing about any of these topics, lol. 

 

So how would I secure these apps when they connect to the Internet.

 

You could run them through a proxy or VPN, but neither are particularly easy to do.  Depends what you're trying to achieve, if it's anonymity then VPN, if it's resistance to "hackers" then your reverse proxy is fine as it is presuming you've got a secure username/password at the reverse proxy layer and it's using SSL.

I tried explaining VPN to my wife, she didn't get it either.  And actually uses one to connect to work from home.  To her it's "internet"

I have pia account for vpn, I've tried the nzbgetvpn and sabnzbdvpn dockers but they don't seem to work.

 

Sonarr doesn't seem to work using reverse proxy or VPN.

 

I like to have anonymity and have resistance to hackers as well. Am I wanting too much?

I've used nzbgetvpn in the past and it worked for me, was a while back though.  But if you're connecting to a usenet server with SSL then it's all encrypted anyways, all you'd be hiding is the fact you're connecting to the usenet server, nobody can see the traffic anyways.  Torrents on the other hand, should always go over a VPN.

That's nothing.  Install lsio's OpenVPN-AS app, copy the generated .opvn file onto whatever devices you want, and you're done.

 

That's not simple, lol. 

I installed the docker, but in log I get, 

Starting openvpnas...
Error: Could not execute server start.

Yea, my usenet server is ssl. So I just need to take a security chill pill then.

I restarted openvpn docker and no errors.  This is log. So if it's running what do I do next :S

or for torrentz get a seedbox that has SSL implemented, so all they see is a encrypted connection to a data center somewhere.
