Your Router's a Sieve, Fix It Before You Get Rekt Anonymous 07/27/25 (Sun) 20:31:36 No.19

Saw your image board—mad respect for self-hosting, but listen up, your setup’s a damn mess. You’re running it on a SOHO router, and it’s wide open like a newfag’s front door. Ports are misconfigured and exposed as hell—might as well slap a neon “hack me” sign on it. Some skid’s gonna roll in and turn your shit into a botnet playground if you don’t lock it down ASAP. Dig into your router settings, fix those ports, and quit being a retard before you get pwned. Stay safe, lurk moar.

If routers didn't route, would they still be routers?

How would I able to tell this? Come on, some trace route and reverse domain name search, this board got many danger port open 4 hack like 22, 80, @admin open those port really have big balls. As web development I ain't a Pro on that, html css and checking out other's github project is good.
