    Does anyone know if running a webtunnel attracts additional unwanted hacker attempts to a domain more so than just hosting normal stuff? I presume its all bots and the simple act of hosting anything gets lots of exposure regardless.

      I honestly don’t have an answer to that but from my understanding running a web tunnel from your home IP can have negative consequences in relation to your address being flagged as a public proxy.

      With the potential to be added to certain automatic ban lists. But more likely than not you’ll be added to a list of potentially untrustable addresses which means you’ll be doing a lot more CAPTCHAS in the future
