Am I doing this (networking) safely?

submitted by

Here is my setup:

I have multiple DuckDNS domains (and subdomains) pointing to my home IP. My home router has port 80 and port 443 forwarded to Nginx Proxy Manager on my home server. Nginx Proxy Manager points to the appropriate docker container and each one is encrypted with Let’s Encrypt.

Am I missing anything here or is this how I’m supposed to be doing it? Every app that has a DuckDNS url has a password in some shape or form.

Always risky to be exposed to the internet. unless you can’t, you should look into using tailscale/netbird to keep everything within a VPN.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the Web
IP Internet Protocol
TCP Transmission Control Protocol, most often over IP
VPN Virtual Private Network
nginx Popular HTTP server

4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 13 acronyms.
