Secure plex instance from brute force attacks

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Hi Everyone I would consider myself pretty novice when it comes to Plex.
I have been running my own plex instance for a while now (really smooth really enjoying it! so far!.)

I was looking in to hardening my exposed services (ombi{plex login} and Plex) they are running behind a revers proxy. so I looked in to fail2ban. But i cant seem to see any failed logs when i try on purpose to give it faulty log in info.

I have been told the logins go through plex.tv and thos i wont see the failed logins, and I was wondering how accrue it is? and if there is any thing i can do to harden my Plex instance from brute force attacks?

Thank you for your help :slight_smile:

Activate 2FA on your account. Make sure the reverse proxy is only accessible via subdomain, not IP address.

For example you need to type in subdomain.myplexserver.com to access but typing in the IP (eg: 24.36.214.55) will just go to a default landing page.
