I think opening a tunnel and forwarding the port through it and opening a port forward directly have about the same security implications. Both end up opening the same port and forwarding the same packets to the same computer. The only difference is with a tunnel there is an extra step in between that slows things down. In some edge cases it may be nice if people can’t directly see your IP but just the one from the tunnel. But that doesn’t matter if it’s only for you and your friends. Might be a concern though if you’re a big live-streamer and fear people DDoSing you. But then there are better alternatives. So I think a tunnel only makes sense if you can’t get the port forward running. Not for securitz purposes.
