txAdmin Security

Securing your txAdmin installation is critical to prevent unauthorized access to your server.

Authentication

Strong Passwords

• Minimum 12 characters
• Mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
• Avoid dictionary words
• Use a password manager

Two-Factor Authentication

Enable 2FA in txAdmin settings:

1. Go to Settings → Security
2. Enable “Two-Factor Authentication”
3. Scan QR code with authenticator app
4. Save backup codes securely

Network Security

Firewall Configuration

Restrict access to txAdmin port (40120):

Reverse Proxy

Use Nginx or Caddy as a reverse proxy with SSL:

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name your-domain.com;
    
    ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.pem;
    
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:40120;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}

Rate Limiting

Configure rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks:

• Limit login attempts (3-5 per minute)
• Enable IP blocking after failed attempts
• Monitor access logs regularly

Best Practices

1. Regular Updates: Keep txAdmin and FiveM artifacts updated
2. Access Logs: Review access logs regularly
3. Backup Credentials: Store admin credentials securely
4. IP Whitelisting: Restrict admin access to known IPs
5. HTTPS: Always use HTTPS in production
