Browser Vps Setup Skill

This skill appears to do what it says (set up a controllable Chrome on a VPS), but it uses several risky operational choices you should review before installing: 1) Chrome is launched with --no-sandbox (dangerous when browsing untrusted sites); avoid this if you can or run Chrome as an unprivileged user or inside a dedicated container/VM. 2) x11vnc is started with -nopw (no password) — the author limits exposure by binding to localhost, but ensure ports are not publicly reachable and only use SSH tunnels from trusted machines. 3) The optional proxy bridge requires embedding proxy credentials into a running Python one-liner: don’t paste secrets into a shell history or shared commands; prefer storing credentials in a file with strict permissions or using a vetted proxy client that supports authenticated upstreams. 4) Running services as root and installing .debs from the network is expected here but increases risk; verify downloads, prefer package-managed installs if available, and isolate this workload from other systems. 5) After setup, an agent and any user with access to the gateway/browser can control the browser (navigate pages, run JS, download). Limit the agent’s permissions and avoid visiting sensitive internal services with the provisioned browser. If you plan to proceed, consider: running the stack under a dedicated user or container, enabling proper authentication for VNC/noVNC, handling proxy credentials securely (not inline), and keeping the Chrome sandbox if possible.
