<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">I am looking at using Proxmox on a leased box in a rack somewhere for some personal projects. One thing that I've noticed about Proxmox is the use of root, access is available via both SSH and the web interface. Is this required for Proxmox to function properly? I've always been taught that it's a bad idea to expose root directly via SSH not to mention some web interface.</div>

I can get more IPs if I have to but I'm limited to a single NIC.</div>
