Creating a modded minecraft server on home server and keeping it safe
Hi y'all i'm looking to create a modded mc server on a home pc server. Besides the initial setup, are there recommendations or guides for keeping my network and server secure while self-hosting?

Don't open any more ports than necessary when port forwarding, if its a private server only add people you can trust. Also always have a firewall to block any and all unnecessary things
!selfhost
Home hosting has its drawbacks / caveats
- Is your internet connection fast enough? In both directions (around 50M is usually enough; you should check here)? You don't connect the server to your router via WiFi, do you?
- Does your ISP provide a somewhat static, public, IPv4 address?
- Are you aware and able to deal with the security impliations?
- Is your computer powerful enough to run both a client and a server?
- Does any inhabitant (human or not!) mind the noise, heat and energy cost of a machine running 24/7?
- Alternatively, is your playerbase OK with the server not being there when you aren't?
