Nostr Web Client

Worst case scenario is the server the relay is on gets taken over and joins a botnet or its used as a jump box to attempt to access other devices such as your laptop/desktop. I mean that is really worst case, and the chance of it happing is low. Firewalls etc can remediate some of it. But why risk it? 😁👍

Got it.

So, access to server could create access to all devices on the local network.

So, if I do it I should do it with my neighbors Wi-Fi.

Port forwarding might be an issue 🤔

Port forwarding?

cr0bar 2y ago

Allowing access to a local network device (your relay) from outside via a public network. Typically local devices have a local IP which aren’t addressable from outside your network. You use port forwarding to pass say port 443 from your outside IP to your internal device.
