[kwlug-disc] Home Web Servers Security

[Jon Thiele]

Looking for some advice.   I manage Wordpress sites for three
charities I'm involved in. Very low traffic - maybe 500 hits a month
combined.

The cost is starting to get a bit pricey since I pay for these sites
myself.   I was thinking that I could handle this using my own
standalone PC.  So I cloned one site and set it up on Ubuntu 26.04.
Everything went well - but now I'm thinking about exactly how to set
up the networking part securely.   I'm on Rogers and right now and I'm
forwarding ports 80 and 443 to my PC on my internal network.  Is this
good enough?  I've used pfSense in the past and could use their port
forwarding feature but not sure what the difference would be.  If you
run a home server, what did you do?

Thanx.
