Is exposing one's residential IP address such a bad thing? Is the threat model just that someone might wish to target you individually, and that they'll have better luck finding a vuln into your LAN if your services are listening directly on public ports?
- 3np 6y agoThere are unlimited imaginable reasons why one may want to de-correlate the data sent in or out from ones software to ones personal identity, yes.
- BHSPitMonkey 6y agoI'd think that using a remote VPN is a better/broader solution to that particular problem. People don't often self-host things at the home, so it's unlikely anyone out there would see my DNS record and assume that it's of value and a useful tool for correlating my IP with my identity (and this actor would need to have eyes on a lot of different services' server logs in order to have data to _maybe_ correlate with me in the first place).
