Very little is changing over time... I have a proliant salvage server running proxmox with some hosts and the router only port forwards to an NGINX proxy manager instance for the web interfaces on those hosts. I run a synology NAS separate from the proliant hardware that runs through the proxy.

I know I don't understand it all, and i'm open to suggestions.

Did you mean to send that reply to me?

I ask because I'm not quite sure what specific suggestions you're looking for.

But in general, I would suggest not exposing port forwarding.

What services are running behind NGINX? What router/firewall are you using?

Yes, I attribute security significant misconfigurations to a lag between new service deployments and a relevant review by network security (in a business environment. At home it's just me.)

So I'm running Milestone VMS, Synology NAS and maybe in a day a minecraft server for the kids, which should all be available outside my home. I'm using the mikrotik HexPOE which is my main router/firewall.
