Comment on What else should I do for my home server security?

That is a separate issue. Hardening a single service that happens to offer a login is easier than hardening a whole bunch of services that were never intended to face the net.
No I mean why would the attacker even attempt to attack your outside if they can just figure out what sits behind it, follow it through the NAT and then exploit it from there.

I know that risk, but that has been mitigated by other means. There is no open port exposed to the net waiting to be hacked. It only opens on demand for a single connection.
May I ask with what you initiate the connection?
Are you using some kind of STUN server/service?
