This is both true and highly misleading. Paranoia isn't a replacement for good security.
The same is true of ssh when using keys to authenticate.
You're right, but only if you are an experienced IT guy in enteprise environnement. Most users (myself included) on Lemmy do not have the necessary skills/hardware to properly configure and protect their networking system, thats way I consider something like wireguard way more secure than opening an SSH port.
Sure SSH key based configuration is also doing a great job but there is way more error prone configuration with an SSH connection than a wireguard tunnel.
But it doesn't help to just tell newbs that "THAT'S INSECURE" without providing context. It 1) reinforces the idea that security "is a thing" rather than "something you do" and 2) doesn't give them any further reference for learning.
It's why some people in this community think that putting a nginx proxy in front of their webapp somehow increases their security posture. Because you don't have "direct access" to the webapp. It's ridiculous.
In this case it's handled by forgejo.
