FAQ

Which ports should I open in my firewall?
Only open ports that are necessary for your application. Minimum for a web server: 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). Add 22 (SSH) for administration but restrict to specific IP ranges. Never expose database ports (3306, 5432, 27017) to the internet — use a VPN or bastion host for database access.
