The things as open as a barns door, so you should not just open it to the public. Like I said, even the devs say not to do that, its just not secure enough permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (5 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] luluberlue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 months ago (4 children) According to your own link that you totally read : "Note that opening a port gives full access to that port to the next higher Network.
