Port forwarding a home server
Hi all! I recently setup a home server running CasaOS through a debian linux install. I know barely anything about networking, and I am just relying on TCPShield as a reverse proxy to keep people off of my home IP. I opened up the port 25555 since I don't want to use the default 25565 in-case I need to open up more servers on it in the future, and I also opened a port for a dynmap on 8123 (I don't know if I needed to do this or not, and if I need to also secure that since I don't think TCPShield will cover that).
Now my main question here is, after I have opened up the ports, what do I do now? My router already has a static IP setup locally, and the ports are opened, I just don't really know how to configure it, and I also just have some security concerns since like I said, I don't have much networking knowledge and don't know what TCPSheild fully covers. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

What are the pros and cons of self-hosting?
Hi all, my friend recently sent me a DM saying that he had a 12GB i7 computer that he wasn't using, and that I could buy it off of him for a little bit of money. I've been using Pebblehost to host a private server that I'm thinking of taking public this fall, and the servers starting to get more and more expensive to pay for as it needs more resources, so this really got me thinking about self-hosting, whether I buy that computer off of my friend or buy another one. It would make much more sense.
What are the pros and cons of self-hosting? What would I have to worry about that my server host already covers, and what are some tips that anybody could give me? I don't know much about port forwarding or really anything network related, and would I have to worry about DDOS attacks on my home router if I self-hosted? I just want to know if self-hosting would be a good solution for me or not. Thanks!

Does anybody know where I can find a server owner?
So this will come off as a really stupid question, and that's because it is a really stupid question. I have an idea for a server but do not have the financial or legal responsibility to own it because I'm 15. I feel like there is some person out there does and would be willing to try this idea out as I already have a huge foundation built up from the time I tried this idea myself and failed, I just want to know if theres a place where I can find them.

Is it possible to modify where ores spawn in already existing chunks?
I have cleared out all default ores in my world with WorldEdit, and I am trying to make ores only spawn in certain areas of a map, and this would be very hard to do with worldedit. Is there a plugin or a command in worldedit that could help me with this? The map is only 1000x1000.
