don't put the door in your house.
a cheap vps takes the connection, the forced command runs there, and a wireguard tunnel carries it back to the netbook. strangers only ever see the vps address. your...
That is actually an interesting approach. I like that it would preserve the terminal experience while keeping my home IP address out of public view.
But I still have some security concerns. Even if the VPS handles public connections the WireGuard tunnel would still create a path to my antiX netbook. If the VPS gets compromised or something is misconfigured then my home network and the other projects running on the netbook could still be at risk.
I also do not have a budget for additional hosting costs right now. That is another reason I am looking for alternatives.
I have spent quite a bit of time building SkyLordsLab BBS and I would love to let people try it. But I do not want to put my other projects or home network at risk just to make it public. Your suggestion is definitely worth researching though. Thanks for explaining it.
