Isn't that equally as true of a VPN service as of a web service?

Isn't that equally as true of a VPN service as of a web service?
- code_duck 5y agoThe issue at hand is which hardware device is exposed to the external network, not which software.
- SturgeonsLaw 5y agoI would (and do) place more trust in a battle-hardened VPN than a router web interface that's designed for local access. Additionally, Wireguard (to pick a favourite) listens for connections on a specific port, and only opens a tunnel if it's presented with the correct string, otherwise it's completely silent, an attacker wouldn't even know it was there. These routers are presenting a full web server and the web UI to an attacker.
