@jgreco You stated in an owncloud thread:
"Only if you happen to free up port 443 and dedicate 443 on your NAT gateway to hitting the OwnCloud instance (or reverse proxy, or whatever).
In general, this is a terrible idea because of the sheer number of bots out there looking at ${everyip}:443 and ${everyip}:80 ... the bad guys build databases of what they find running and where, so when some exploit for OwnCloud or your HTTP server becomes available, they merely need to query their databases for the sites running that software and they can then target you"
Should Sophos and OpenVPN be left at default for the user portal on 443 (currently routable from WAN due to DDNS)? I thought it odd it was set to 443 to begin with, but didn't think too much about it until I set up DDNS earlier today to configure OpenVPN.
