OwnCloud Safe to Expose with Reverse Proxy (alien.top)

Is OwnCloud hardened enough to expose with a reverse Proxy?

Are there any specific settings that need changed to make it safe?

Is there a reason you cannot accomplish this with a selfhosted VPN?

Exposing anything has risk. Risk of loss of data, your systems being used for other attacks, and loss of time/money to fix. It is entirety possible to do this as safe as practical of course- keeping your stuff up to date and having some kind of visibility into intrusion detection for immediate response are ways to minimize issues.
