I just setup a minecraft server on an old laptop, but to make it acessible i needed to open up a port. Currently, these are the ufw rules i have. when my friends want to connect, i will have them find their public ip and ill whilelist only them. is this secure enough? thanks

`Status: active

To Action From

22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere Anywhere ALLOW my.pcs.local.ip`

also, minecraft is installed under a separate user, without root privlege

    I would use something like wireguard, or another VPN service you can host yourself if your router supports it natively.

    From the looks of it Minecraft servers seem to have dogshit authentication, so using some form of private network setup is going to be your best move.

      You don’t have to host the VPN on the router. You can also host it on a separate machine or the same one that’s running the Minecraft server.
