Ah, I’ve purposefully been ignoring US since trump got in. My ignorance isn’t an excuse so my bad.

My dad moved to another country on the other side of the earth… Covid is bad, made from baby fetus and will kill me if I get the vaccine… Supports trump, supports Russia, etc, etc, etc. Believes the earth is flat too. He’s a Canadian living in Asia. He’s the last fucking person who should have an opinion on this shit… I still call him, he’s my dad, I just hang up on him when he gets going. For that reason and more, I try to avoid most of what’s going on down there. I just see red. 7 vaccines in and I’m not dead yet. Wanted the wife to let me tell him that we were recruited to “help make the vaccine” for Canadians but she said it’s too far…

Anyway, rant over. My bad and I’m sorry. Will be more careful going forward.

I have no idea who he is. My bad. Will edit

At this point, I’m pretty sure all my information is already public.

With all the breaches and everyone selling information to anyone with cash, do you really think there’s a point? I didn’t have an Equifax account in 2017 but I had a credit card, cellphone, etc and I can’t opt out of my info being sent there…

It’s not so much about the ports, its about what you’re running that’s accessible to the public.

If you have a single website on 443 and SSH on 22 (or a non-standard port like 6543) you’re generally considered safe. This is 2 services and someone would need to attack one of the two to get in.

If you have a VPN on 4567 and everything behind the VPN then someone would need to hack the VPN to get in.

If you have 100 different things behind 443 then someone just needs to find a hole in one to get in.

Generally ssh, nginx, a VPN are all safe and they should be on their own ports.
