Is it safe to forward port 22 in UFW to a static IP address. The thing is I often need to access my server when I'm at another place, this place got a static IP Address, so at this moment the only port open for the outside on my server is 80 but if I would open port 22 in UFW to this IP Address would this be safe. Why I'm asking is because some of the user accounts on my server only got a 8-10 character password even tho my main got a 16 character password I don't want anyone but my to access my server, the risk that someone actually broke into the place where the ip I forwarded to and tried to hack it is low to none since it's just as easy if not easier to break in here and steal/hack the actual server. So basically what I'm wondering is if this is safe enough, is it totally sure that people won't be able to fool the server in some way that they are from that IP Adress.
