Original Title: Say entirely hypothetically somebody forwarded a port from their router and had it protected only by a HA account with a strong password while exposed to the internet. How quickly would their home burn down?

Seriously though, it seems everybody uses Nabu Casa or Tailscale etc. or some other VPN/tunneling scenario. Is the only risk in the described scenario a brute force password attack? Wouldn’t that be apparent from the login attempts? What is the risk I’m not accounting for in doing this? Hypothetically, I mean.
