Hey Guys,
I have a raspberry pi running pihole, unbound and Pivpn connected to my RTAC-86U.
I have a random port on the router opened for PiVPN to work and this works great.
I just signed up for an account on uptime robot and am trying to set it up so that when my raspberry pi and pihole go down, I get an alert.
So uptime robot allows you to monitor ports.
I tried opening several different ports on the router to allow uptime robot to monitor them, but the ony one that works is port 80 so far.
So I have opened port 80 in the router admin panel.
My question is:
Is this a bad idea or a security risk?
Hope someone can shed some light
Thanks Guys
