[Discussion] Auto-disable Remote Access on Vunerable Selfhosted Services (bookwormstory.social)

Hi guys I was wondering if there is a streamlined way to disable remote acess to a selfhosted service (say at a reverse proxy level) if a published security vunerability is present.

I know, ideally you want to keep all your selfhosted services up to date. However on certain selfhosted service auto updates may not be viable (due to major changes between updates) and you being unavailable 24/7 to respond to vunerabilities.

Curious on your thoughts and suggestions. So far the only middle ground I can find is realying on a vpn wireguard, tailscale, etc.

Thats a really neat idea but I'm not sure its practical. Definitely putting everything you can behind a VPN is the best bet. Only things I dont have behind VPN/local only are things my extended family use and are on a different vlan.
