You don’t need to put the server in the DMZ, just port forward port 80 and 443. Most routers these days ignore all requests to ports that aren’t open. And stick it behind Cloudflare, so you don’t have to expose your IP. Cloudflare also allows you to generate SSL certs that are good for a decade.

Plus certbot and acme easily auto renew the certs.

Yeah, it’s a huge PITA to just, you know, click the button to generate a new cert and revoke the old one.

You’re just not a pleasant person, are you? Every time you’ve replied to one of my posts, it’s to be a twatwaffle.
An ignorant twatwaffle, considering you obviously have no idea how Cloudflare certs work. Which ends up making me look like I’m smarter than I really am, so thanks!
