I would like to know if logging my veportal panel via my nodes ip wont cause security holes like being scanned by a hacker?

    edit: misunderstood the question I think, new answer:

    You could be key logged anywhere, so yes. Use two step verification if possible with veportal if you worry about account security.

      There's several different ways that the information passed between your client computer and the virtual private system can be 'hijacked' or scanned. If your portal is a web-based application (like cPanel or Webmin), then one of the most important things to do is secure your HTTP connections via SSL. If the portal is web based and does not use the HTTPS protocol, the information (such as your username and password) can be seen in-transit to the server.

      Another method of compromising your username and password's security is the same as above, if there's a key logger installed on your computer as a piece of malware or a virus, your username and password can be intercepted via those means. I would recommend enabling and securing your portal with an SSL certificate (self-signed or authority-signed) and make sure there's no lingering malicious software on your client computer.

      Best regards,
      -Shawn

    Hey turnrush wonder what are the two steps,might be a new dance of urs like the locomotion,I know that you can do it if you give it a chance now.

    So somehow in terms of security is the same to log in to my veportal via nodes ip or via my vps ip isnt it?,this as first

    And as second the only main protection would be using https://434.07.233.431:2047
    and paying a definite antivirus suscription like norton for my computer SPECIALLY using Windows7

    IS All oF ThE avobe RiGhT?

    Thank you very much for taking your precious time to read,really appreciate
