Actually, I was wondering:
I have used tailscale, and lately netbird, for remote access and it has worked well for Jellyfin streaming, ssh/rsync and accessing other WebUIs. All with non-default passwords of course.
However I have not set up any of the internal network hardening like OPNSense, VLANs or ReverseProxy. Is it safe to configure these remotely or am I risking locking myself out?


Thank you very much for the pointers! There is so much info at different levels out there that it’s encouraging to get recommendations.
Gicen the risk of locking myself out (have been prone to do that even IRL) I may limit firewalling to times where I have physical access.
Reverse proxy sounds intriguing though. I’ve got a domain already, so just missing… well… the rest (:
