- Shank 5y agoRelying on firewalls to do what firewalls do and have done and continue to do seems perfectly acceptable. Yes, your database should have authentication enabled too, but expecting ports to not be unexpectedly open is the entire point of firewalls.
- AtNightWeCode 5y agoKind of what I said. Firewalls are for blocking unwanted traffic. It should not be used as a replacement for other security measures. "unexpectedly open", well, there I simply disagree.
- Aeolun 5y agoSo if you have a firewall set to block everything, and you run a docker container that listens to your global IP, you expect it to magic your firewall for you?
- AtNightWeCode 5y agoYes. I would assume that any service platform or services for that matter may have open ports as default and that you should place it in a private network with a proxy in front of it.
