don't put the door in your house.
a cheap vps takes the connection, the forced command runs there, and a wireguard tunnel carries it back to the netbook. strangers only ever see the vps address. your antiX box keeps every port shut, and if someone hammers the door you drop the tunnel, not the machine.
same reason fidonet held up: the hub was never somebody's bedroom. you're building the postbag, not the house.
