As the title says ive started running webmin. And i wanna know if its safe for me to reverse proxy (with 2fa) or should i just use tailscale or ssh to access it.

      Tailscale and wire guard, it’s underlying vpn application, have a big stake in being secure. Webmin not as much more focused on providing features and being secure. There is much more surface areas for a web application over a simple vpn service. And self hosted you probably aren’t implementing intrusion monitoring as serious as tailscale web services would.

      Not necessarily. But it’s one service, compared to multiple, which could each have their own vulnerabilities. It’s about reduction of risk.
