Turning your home connection into a public web server is an exciting project, but it’s also risky if your setup lacks proper security. Opening SSH ports without control can be an invitation for attackers. To reduce exposure, it’s smart to restrict access so that only trusted IPs can connect. I read a guide at https://www.servers.com/support/knowledge/linux-administration/how-to-limit-ssh-access-by-ip-addresses-using-firewall about ways to safely manage this using firewalls like UFW, iptables, or firewalld. Even a simple rule allowing SSH access only from your home IP while blocking everything else drastically cuts risk. For anyone making their devices publicly reachable, locking down access by IP is a practical and effective safeguard.
