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
are you sharing a server solely to play with friends?
You could consider using something like zerotier to create a private network
I also use Zerotier for such cases. Not sure if you can somehow limit the ports they see, but works great in general
