I'm deploying a QCenter VM Appliance to monitor several offsite NAS.
The VM I'm using follows
FORMAT = hyperv
BUILD_DATE = 20210113
VERSION = 1.2.1
I also installed Q'Center Patch 1.11.1004
I've seen that I can test multiple passwords without any slowdown...
Is it possible to enable a prevention of brute force test of password?
I mean, something that delay the login if multiple failed password are being tested?
Or maybe record on /var/log failed attempts to feed a fail2ban or something like that.
Thank you.

Re: Q'Center password brute force prevention
I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to your question.
In my opinion management applications should be on a separated management network (VLAN) that only administrators have access to.

RAID have never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups on a different system (preferably placed at another site), you will eventually lose data!
A non-RAID configuration (including RAID 0, which isn't really RAID) with a backup on a separate media protects your data far better than any RAID-volume without backup.
All data storage consists of both the primary storage and the backups. It's your money and your data, spend the storage budget wisely or pay with your data!

You are right but, if you manage many customer's NAS, it's nice to have a single dashboard to monitor NAS behind NAT.

Re: Q'Center password brute force prevention
if you expose your custumers NAS via port forwards..have some money reserved for lawsuits ... because that is one (or more) waiting to happen

Re: Q'Center password brute force prevention
Maybe my explanation was flawed. Customer's NAS is inside their network. They are not exposed.
My Q'Center, instead, is published via port forward to be reachable.
"Connect to QCenter" connect to the public IP of QCenter, as per QNAP Documentation using port 443
CUST NAS ---> NAT ROUTER (with no direct access to the NAS) ---> INTERNET ---> QCENTER
But the login screen of QCenter doesn't have a brute-force prevention...
Maybe now it's more clear.
