<p>One major advantage of Home Assistant is that its not dependent on cloud services. Even if youre only using Home Assistant on a local network, you should take steps to secure your instance.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="checklist" href="#checklist"></a> Checklist</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/basic/#password-protecting-the-web-interface">Protect your web interface with a password</a></li>
<li>Secure your host. Sources could be <a href="https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/pdf/Security_Guide/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-7-Security_Guide-en-US.pdf">Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Security Guide</a>, <a href="https://benchmarks.cisecurity.org/tools2/linux/CIS_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_7_Benchmark_v1.0.0.pdf">CIS Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Benchmark</a>, or the <a href="https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/index.en.html">Securing Debian Manual</a>.</li>
<li>Restrict network access to your devices. Set <code class="highlighter-rouge">PermitRootLogin no</code> in your sshd config (usually <code class="highlighter-rouge">/etc/ssh/sshd_config</code>) and to use SSH keys for authentication instead of passwords.</li>
<li>Dont run Home Assistant as root consider the Principle of Least Privilege.</li>
<li>Keep your <a href="/topics/secrets/">secrets</a> safe.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you want to allow remote access, consider these additional points:</p>
<ul>
<li>Protect your communication with <a href="/docs/ecosystem/certificates/lets_encrypt/">TLS/SSL</a>.</li>
<li>Protect your communication with <a href="/cookbook/tor_configuration/">Tor</a>.</li>
<li>Protect your communication with a <a href="/cookbook/tls_self_signed_certificate/">self-signed certificate</a>.</li>
<li>Use a <a href="/cookbook/apache_configuration/">proxy</a>.</li>
