Opening your router to the Internet is risky. Are there any guides for the basics to keep things secure? Things like setting up fail2ban? My concern is that I’ll forget something obvious.

Edit: I haven’t had much of a chance to read through everything yet, but I really appreciate all these long, detailed responses. ❤️ Thanks folks!

    Definitely look into fail2ban. There might be something newer out there, but something like that is essential for running open WAN ports.

      Forget fail2ban, use crowdsec instead. It is a kind of next generation fail2ban ☝🏻😃

          Nope, that are two different things, but if you want to crash your server just run sudo rm -rf /etc && sudo rm -rf /var This is fun enough 😃
