I just setup a minecraft server on an old laptop, but to make it acessible i needed to open up a port. Currently, these are the ufw rules i have. when my friends want to connect, i will have them find their public ip and ill whilelist only them. is this secure enough? thanks

`Status: active

To Action From

22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere Anywhere ALLOW my.pcs.local.ip`

also, minecraft is installed under a separate user, without root privlege

SSH, especially password only ssh, can be broken into fairly easily.

WTF are you smoking? The tailscale propaganda is really getting crazy these days.

In what way do you think this article supports anything about the claim that “ssh can be broken into fairly easily”. It’s at best an argument for not using passwords with SSH, and at least for using very good passwords.
