I’ve spent some time searching this question, but I have yet to find a satisfying answer. The majority of answers that I have seen state something along the lines of the following:...
To keep your system secure no matter what, you open up only the ports you absolutely need.
People will always make a mistake while configuring software, a firewall is there to make sure that error is caught. With more advanced firewall’ you can even make sure only certain app’s have access to the internet to make sure only what you absolutely need toconnect to the internet does.
In general it’s for security, but can also be privacy related depending on how deep you want to get into it.
EDIT: It isnt about not trusting other devices on your netork,or software you run, or whether you are runni g a server. It’s about general security of your system.

Hello, recently I have started to see the limit’s of vps’s and have been thinking about getting a hetzner dedicated server from the auction. My question is are they worth it and if so what would be the best way to make use of them....
I have already went ahead and bought a hetzner dedicated box, I just couldn’t find a similar performance dedicated box on any other provider’s for what hetzner provided at this moment and I really needed one now.
UPDATE: In the end I got a hetzner dedicated server and the performance is a lot better than a vps could ever be with similar specs and am loving the experience.
