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!

    So, no-one’s mentioned tailscale. If it’s just for you, or some select friends, it’s probably the least friction to get secure access to your home network. Still, gotta check your threat matrix, do you really need it, is it really worth it for that occasional, maybe hypothetical usage ? Least access is best security…
