If your forgejo host needs to connect to the outside world, you can open the port for incomming traffic only for related and established traffic. That way when somebody wants to connect to your port as a new connection it will fail. So when somebody has bad intentions, it will not work unless you've already connected to them in the first place. You need to permit outgoing traffic from forgejo if you block outgoing traffic.
I see, only allowing established traffic to connect sounds like something that could work. But I don't know how I can do this, do you have some pointers :)?
Blocking outgoing traffic and having to whitelist forgejo seems a bit extreme though
Blocking outgoing traffic isn't needed. But was mere a headsup if that is something you've alread setup. What router do you have? Usually when you open a port there is a dropdown menu or checkboxes for what kind of connection the port opening is allowed.
I'd rather not say which router I have since it would reveal quite a bit of information about me. However, I do know that the connections that my router allows are tcp and udp
