i want to remotely ssh to my home server, and I was wondering if I could just forward port 22 with disabling password login and use pubkey authentication will be safe enough?

    A “top” audit company pushing their own agenda.

    OpenVPN is simple and easy to deploy on any major operating system. Pfsense or similar is easy to setup and run in a VM. That does all the hard work for you and creates a profile. Then you essentially copy or download that profile to the client machine and you’re done. It’s all done via gui or web interface so is easier for a lot of people. My sister managed it. She wouldn’t have been able to handle command line stuff.

    Like i said before though. Why not use a vpn and also harden your ssh. I can’t see a downside to that.

    It’s just my opinion and experience from working with both. You’re welcome to dissagree and do your own thing though of course :)
