Are there security risks to port forwarding? (self-hosting Terraria)

@headphone There is Tailscale, which is better than Hamachi. Port forwarding itself is quite safe. Security risks usually comes from either if your friend configures it poorly, or if there are any vulnerabilities in the application itself. In this case Terraria. It’s better to use a VPN with their Terraria server instead of port forwarding it directly to reduce potential security risks
