I have several selfhosted services that I have been using for months, now I wish to access these while I am not at home. Likes of nextcloud, nocodb, wikijs and other media sharing self-hosted services
I would like to know what precautions should I take so no one knows that such a domain exists.
should I purchase a crazy numbered domain like 671341412312.com ? or should I go for .tk domains.
Would like to get some suggestions from this community on other aspects that I am missing.
Free domains such as .tk or .cf are scanned by various bots as soon as they are created. I remember when I created a domain and forwarded it to my server. The spam and attacks that subsequently hit my server were very high. Significantly higher than with a domain that I paid for.
I therefore strongly recommend staying away from these free domains.
Good luck with your project :)
