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!

    Do you need to serve an actual public like a website does? If not then you shouldn’t be exposing any removeding services except for wireguard for you and your handful of users.

      I’ve never set up a VPN. I’ve connected to them for work, sure, and I’ve dealt with port forwarding for games back in the day. Is it much trickier? Their site makes it sound pretty easy.
