forwarding port 22 safe? - eviltoast

i want to remotely ssh to my home server, and I was wondering if I could just forward port 22 with disabling password login and use pubkey authentication will be safe enough?

    OpenVPN is simple and easy to deploy on any major operating system. Pfsense or similar is easy to setup and run in a VM. That does all the hard work for you and creates a profile. Then you essentially copy or download that profile to the client machine and you’re done. It’s all done via gui or web interface so is easier for a lot of people. My sister managed it. She wouldn’t have been able to handle command line stuff.

    Like i said before though. Why not use a vpn and also harden your ssh. I can’t see a downside to that.

    It’s just my opinion and experience from working with both. You’re welcome to dissagree and do your own thing though of course :)
