From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Generally if youre selfhosting a vpn is better from a cyber security perspective anyway.
This. I was getting fits when I read the post. Fiber is actually great for selfhosting a service but the security side is very dangerous for uninformed individuals.
If configuring an nginx server is already stretching it, its only a matter of time until your stuff is encrypted and ransomed. Same goes for all data in your network. If the pi is not in its own zone, it has now become a door to your network with barely a lock, let alone a good one.
I would highly recommend reading up on network security and probably prioritize isolating the pi and making at least daily backups.
You router is going to be scanned for open ports every couple minutes. If the wordpress doesnt have a strong password, you‘re in for a bad time.
