Hi bros,

I'm completely new to proxmox. I just install proxmox on my server yesterday.
And i found that Spiceproxy on my server have no access control by default.
I want to setup access control for it using username and password? Is it OK?
Is there any side effect after i do that?

Here is the reason why I want to set access control for the proxy:
few weeks later, I setup a proxy server on my VPS from DigitalOcean.
And it also have no access control like this. By someway, some bad guys
figured it out my proxy address and use it for bad behavior - evolving to
a DOS attack or some blackhat activities of that kind. And my VPS quickly
run out of traffic and get banned by "Abuse Complaint" :(

My new server is also traffic limited. So i think i will be better to set access
control for it.

Hope to hear your advice. Thank you very much :d
 
Hi
Are you sure you're not confusing internet proxies like squid with the spice proxy ?
Access to the spice proxy happens inside PVE so it *has* authentification.
 
In my server, spiceproxy listen on 0.0.0.0:3128
So the outside host can connect to it.

I try to set it as http proxy in firefox.
And firefox can browsing internet like normal.

So i'm sure that the spiceproxy can work like normal
internet proxy as well.
 
Hi again

You're concern is legitimate, but no, it is not possible to use the spiceproxy as a normal proxy:

just try this command ( you can try this in your proxmox host after installing the curl package)

Code:
curl --proxy http://myPveHost:3128 http://www.google.com
{/CODE]

replacing myPveHost with the public IP adress your proxmox server

you will that see that it produces not output.
