  • It’s not so much about the ports, its about what you’re running that’s accessible to the public.

    If you have a single website on 443 and SSH on 22 (or a non-standard port like 6543) you’re generally considered safe. This is 2 services and someone would need to attack one of the two to get in.

    If you have a VPN on 4567 and everything behind the VPN then someone would need to hack the VPN to get in.

    If you have 100 different things behind 443 then someone just needs to find a hole in one to get in.

    Generally ssh, nginx, a VPN are all safe and they should be on their own ports.









  • If I didn’t do anything wrong I’d ignore anyone I didn’t want to talk to and keep doing my own thing. Continue shopping or whatever it was.

    Other things that happen would be unrelated (even if it’s related, I’d deal with it as a separate event). Next thing that happens is a security guard hits me, call the cops. I did nothing wrong. If they try to stop me I’d ignore them and wlk away. Physically hold me, I’d call the cops.

    If I was scared for my safety I’d do everything and and anything to get out of the situation and deal with the consequences once I was safe.
