fwiw I’m unclear if suspicious activity would get logged to this open port, but it would help set my mind at ease. I feel like UPNP is a security risk I’ve disabled on my network, and a persistent port open would be something I’d want to monitor. Who knows what exploit could occur in the future that might enable remote code execution. Being paranoid, I think I’ll personally defer to VPN’ing vs. port forwarding. Alternatively, isolating a segment of my network might be a great compromise.
Is there any logging of suspicious activity that would close the port on the Core (let’s say after multiple failed login attempts) or generate some type of alert?
