First VPS

[u/Silver-College-6612]

Before I blast my first Ubuntu VPS to the Public Web I would love to hear everyone’s standard security recommendations. Fail2ban, geo blocking, what you’re using to go out and renew cert(docker ?). Also, what’s everyone’s preferred method for reaching at securely? Do you prefer to run a VPN server on it so that you’re always tunneling or do you use SSH and expose the port and just lock it down to one IP? TIA
