Depends on the VPN connection. If you use an OpenVPN client on your PC |
| 19 |
then it is sufficient to use a well configured firewall (ufw, iptables |
| 20 |
or whatever) on this PC. If you use a VPN gateway then you could |
| 21 |
configure this gateway (or a firewall behind) in a way that it blocks |
| 22 |
incoming connections from the VPN tunnel. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
IMHO there is no more risk to use a VPN connection than with any other |
| 25 |
Internet connection. |
