Opening a port on my router, is it safe?
I have a database which will be receiving info from external APIs.
I made an API (in asp.net core web api) for the database to receive requests from those external APIs. The API will be running on my computer on an IIS server, which isn't currently running.
Completely new to all of this, but my understanding right now is that I will have to open up a port on my router to listen for external requests from the APIs. I am pretty nervous about keeping the database and my computer/network safe. Any recommendations on how to keep everything secure?
