This is why I avoid opening up "service" devices to the broader internet.

My current work around is to access a computer with TeamViewer on a given local network and manage things from there. There are probably flaws with this approach too, but it seems like a more manageable solution than giving IoT-type devices access to the open internet.

I do wonder if protocol like Yggdrasil would be a good solution in the future.
