Is it normal to not have any malicious login attempts? (reddthat.com)

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.

That's normal if you're not exposing it to the Internet I suppose. Probably not a lot of bots out there looking for it, but the better question is WHY you have it exposed to the internet.

I have mine exposed to the Internet so I can control things and get notifications when I'm away. But I pay HA to use their cloud service.

You'd be better off just setting up a simple VPN, Tailscale, or Zerotier for this.

I'd rather support nabu casa.
