I’ve been running Home Assistant for three years. It’s port forwarded on default port 8123 via a reverse proxy in a dedicated VM serving it over HTTPS and is accessible over ipv4 and ipv6. All user accounts have MFA enabled.

I see a notification every time there’s a failed login attempt, but every single one is either me or someone in my house. I’ve never seen a notification for any other attempts from the internet. Not a single one.

Is this normal? Or am I missing something? I expected it to be hammered with random failed logins.

    I had three thoughts in rapid succession.

    1. that’s a dangerous line of thinking
    2. I wonder who these security freaks are
    3. looks at honeypot Oh no IM the security freak.

    That being said fearmongering is bad. Give people actual facts and let them decide for themselves.
