Do you need to proxy?
I mean no but the added security kind of trumps everything else. It helps to not expose my public IP and the added bonus of firewall rules too.
That all depends on your setup. If your website is on a VPS, why are you adding the extra security? Are you adding extra security? I think one of the points is that you’re taking away security.
And if you need firewall rules, maybe you should put the firewall rules on your firewall. Why would you rely on someone else’s firewall?
I host all my stuff locally including my nginx proxy manager and I do also have opnsense firewall rules with geoip blocking as well.
