Hey all! For the longest time I’ve had a server that hosts some things (eg Syncthing), but is only available via SSH tunneling.

How do you manage the security of having public-facing servers?

    Mostly a convenience thing, since I only need it on-demand and I usually use SSH for things anyway. As this post suggests I’m obviously rethinking that now :)

Especially if you’re the only one using it. After setting up Wireguard I’ve elimated all my router port forwards except SSH and WG
