If no root password is set and you forward this port, unauthorized users can connect to your webGui and have full access to your server. This is only better than port 80 if you have a root password set.
SICKRAGE UNRAID SETUP INSTALL
If you want to make the webGui remotely accessible, install the plugin to enable My Servers on your system. Forwarding this port by default will allow you to access the webGui remotely, but without SSL securing the connection, devices in between your browser and the server could "sniff" the packets to see what you're doing. Port 80: Used to access the webGui without SSL.Here are just a few ports you should be extra careful with when forwarding: However, forwarding the wrong ports can expose your server to significant security risks. Review Router Port Mappingsįorwarding ports to your server is required for specific services that you want to be Internet-accessible such as Plex, FTP servers, game servers, VoIP servers, etc. Regardless of how "locked down" you think you actually have the server, placing it in the DMZ exposes it to unnecessary risks. By doing so, you are essentially forwarding every port on your public IP address to your server directly, allowing all locally accessible services to be remotely accessible as well.

No matter how locked down you think you have your server, it is never advisable to place it in the DMZ on your network. We highly, highly recommend not exposing your server to the internet or placing it in the DMZ of your router unless you know what you are doing and are following strong security protocols. Do Not Expose Servers to the Internet/DMZ
