I just setup a minecraft server on an old laptop, but to make it acessible i needed to open up a port. Currently, these are the ufw rules i have. when my friends want to connect, i will have them find their public ip and ill whilelist only them. is this secure enough? thanks

`Status: active

To Action From

22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere Anywhere ALLOW my.pcs.local.ip`

also, minecraft is installed under a separate user, without root privlege

    No, SSH is fairly vulnerable and not very secure at default, it’s a big target. For your Minecraft server you should be fine on the default port.

    I have run a pair of MC servers for about a decade with no issues, survival on port 25565, and creative on 25567.
