What are the detected vulnerabilities? Anything relevant for a single-user setup?
Is it possible to assign the GPU to a host and use vPro to manage the hypervisor (Proxmox/KVM)?

Thank you. Apologies, I made a mistake: I meant assign the GPU to a guest. Is that possible, so that the guest can use the HDMI port and the host uses Intels AMT/vPro?
Seems to be, among others: NVD - CVE-2022-30601
9.8 score (out of 10..). Best to disable AMT/vPro until this is fixed, or at least to only allow it on one interface, connected to a protected management network.
No BIOS update released yet. I checked for BIOS updates for their other products, but there are not many. There is no change log either, so I tried downloading one in the hope that a changelog would be included in the zip file. That was not possible though:
I am not using Mediafire. It looks like Minisforum is, and their business partner deems their BIOS updates malicious..
What a shame, I thought the MS-01 was the perfect home server and firewall.
Working pefectly fine for me.
I am just using the LM interface for management, so I always have another interface always up (ixl0 with transceiver in). Maybe that matters.
I figured it was Unraid, Windows works fine. LM port shuts off when I power down Unraid. No lights flashing on LM port WOL doesnt work etc.
I had problems trying to run everything through LM port. Once I used another port vPRO worked great except when I shut down Unraid.

I would try resetting bios to defaults and turn off the security password in bios. MeshCommander steps to get it working have been shared above.
I put a password to be able to disable secure boot (using unraid).
I haven't seen any option to boot without password. I guess i have to find how to reset bios. I suppose there might be a battery to remove or a jumper to clear cmos (last time i had to reset bios was with my 486
)
For meshcommander i tried what's above with no luck.

Yes i tried with tls and as i said i can access https://ip:16993 but it's useless as. it doesn't include kvm.
I tried mesh commander on my mac with npm and on unraid in a docker without success.
With meshcentral it works from my mac or in docker on unraid

That must be why it's not working for you I was testing in Windows with version 0.9.6. I really wanted to make vpro work but at the end of the day I gave up just too may negative quirks and poor adoption.
Guys anyone got any temperature info of this vPro thing? neither with MeshCommander or direct with HTTPS it gives any temperature information.
