    hide your RDP server behind some VPN

    Anyone who isn’t doing this already is dumb. Same goes for exposing ssh publicly. I don’t care that you’re using a cert to log in, if there’s a 0 day in the openssh server you’re boned

      If there’s a 0 day in the VPN software then I’m also probably boned. The chances of that seem on par with the likelihood of an openssh vulnerability? I feel like vpns are useful to secure services without good authentication, but their use in front of an openssh server has never made much sense to me.

        They would have to breach the vpn and then also breach the other services once they’re on your network. It’s another layer of protection.
