As the title says ive started running webmin. And i wanna know if its safe for me to reverse proxy (with 2fa) or should i just use tailscale or ssh to access it.

    USB’s are another really big no-no where I work, and running a different OS on my work network would 100% throw a lot of flags in our SOC as it’s essentially plugging a rogue device into the network. In my understanding, a reverse proxy allows access to specific resources, if configured properly it only allows access to your DMZ.

    VPNs allow you to become part of a virtual network (like one you aren’t physically connected to), frequently providing access as though you are directly connected to the whole network. I could set up a VPN to my DMZ I suppose, but that just feels weird as hell as the whole point of a DMZ is to be an area you allow the public internet to reach (sometimes requiring authenticating to the reverse proxy).

      The context of this entire discussion is connecting to internal services; the kind you wouldn’t have in your DMZ, as that has no privileged access to your network.

      Anyhoo, you do you, but I certainly wouldn’t make public a reverse proxy with access to my internals.
