Hi Guys,
The new platform have the firewall incluted.
I've setted it like this
A rule that block 0.0.0.0/0 (all ip range) for all ports (excluted 80)
A rule that accept My Own Ip for all ports
This is the secure way for a personal server?

Be careful
If you have dynamic ip, you will not access to ssh

Yes, is secure, but not the proper way.
It's really dangerous if you have a dinamic IP. If your IP changes, you won't be able to connect to your server (via SSH) anymore; and with that rule you can't connect to your server with another connection if you have problems with your usual connection. Really dangerous.
For secure your server you can use tools like fail2ban, a correct configuration of the SSH service, disabling services that you are not using (FTP, POP, DNS, etc.) and closing their ports, etc.
