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.

Not the person you asked, but my Jellyfin is only exposed through my reverse proxy (nothing else forwarded), and I simply put Authelia in front of Jellyfin in the reverse proxy using forward_auth (not using OAuth to integrate with Jellyfin!), and that means that you have to be authenticated for any request on my jellyfin subdomain to be able to reach my Jellyfin server at all. Probably means I can't connect via the app remotely, only via browser, but then I can just use my VPN and connect directly to the local IP.
