The Hub (sovransystemsos.local), Ride The Lightning (:3051) and Mempool
(:60847) sites are meant for the home network. With ports 80/443
forwarded for public services, Caddy also receives requests from other
clients, so these sites now check the client address as well as the Host
header.
A new snippet, sovran_lan_only, closes the connection unless the client
is on this computer or the local network: private_ranges, 100.64.0.0/10
(Tailscale), 169.254.0.0/16, fe80::/10 and fc00::/7. IPv6 global
addresses (2000::/3) are not filtered: computers on the network often
connect over their own global address, which cannot be told apart from
one on the internet by the address alone. Only the three local sites
import the snippet; the domain sites for public services are unchanged.
Clients with a public IPv4 address on the local network are no longer
served on these sites. The Hub is still available on port 8937.
Checked with Caddy 2.11.4 and the Caddyfile the generator writes: public
IPv4 clients get the connection closed on all three sites, local clients
are served, and the public domain sites answer as before.
Add tests/test_caddy_lan_only.py and a note in SECURITY.md.
Server + Desktop publishes services under the operator's own domain, and
the DNS record for that domain points at the home connection, so anyone
can look up the home IP address. None of the places that offer Server +
Desktop said so.
- README: new section "Server + Desktop and your home IP address" (what
becomes public, what does not, the alternatives, and what happens
technically), plus a note on the role table and in the security
overview.
- SECURITY.md: a matching section, the consequence noted next to "Public
web services exposed only when enabled by the operator", and the
supported versions row no longer pins 1.0.x.
- ISO installer: the Server + Desktop role card ends with the warning.
- Hub: the domain setup text (onboarding, feature setup and domain
reconfiguration share renderDomainNeedsHtml) and the upgrade dialog
carry the same notice.
- Add tests/test_exposure_guards.py. It fails if one of these places
loses the notice or the README anchor stops resolving.
