I pay for the Nabu Casa subscription for remote access to Home Assistant. Mostly as a way to give them money for a great service, but it’s convenient and felt pretty secure. It should be the only remote way into Home Assistant. About an hour ago I got a login attempt notice that an IP was trying to access API/config. The IP is in some bad IP databases. What I found interesting was that the log shows an AI bot. A Google Gemini bot specifically. Makes me worry that AI is going to make yet another aspect of life frustrating and unfun.

    I’ve been seeing this on my HA instance too. I expose HA though cloudflared. So I did some investigation and google has several primary ASNs I blocked them all via Cloudflare. The GCP one is AS396982 so that may be enough but I blocked them all because fuck Google.

    104.28.222.47? That one showed up in a log yesterday for me. Super glad the latest update added the option to see the IP for login attempts.

      This one was 66.187.5.19. I tried to find a way to report their behavior on hostodo (the service they’re using) but they don’t seem to have a report option. I’m guessing because they don’t want to prevent this kind of thing.

    Wireguard can solve secure remote access without* passwords. Android and iPhone both have clients that can be configured to bring the VPN up once you leave wi-fi. Bringing a third party into your home is just not wise.

    I had a reverse proxy and all services on the web for funsies, behind various security mechanisms. Authentik, CrowdSec…

    But in the age of AI, it feels far too dangerous.

    Now everything still has a DNS entry and is accessible in Lan with it through my pi hole and Tailscale resolves the local subnet too.

    The only place that I use port 22, is my crowdsec pi. I use some other port than the traditional port for HA. I am slowly moving all my things out of the Apple ecosystem once I do I will setup some other blocking system for outgoing stuff, kinda like pihole but in reverse.

    Would highly recommend using an alternative port other than the default one for HA and 22.
