I’ve got a game server connected to a VPS via tailscale, and fail2ban on both machines. I’ve iptables implicit deny rules on both machines with only the ports needed for the game and ssh open (with private key authentication for ssh). Is this enough to be safe, assuming the rules are strong? Or do I need more services protecting it since my router’s firewall won’t be processing traffic due to tailscale.
