sharing WordPress in WAMP through internet (insecure?)

  • I’ve managed to put my WAMP server online and then port fowarded to the internet configuring the router. However I don’t know if it’s secure. What do you say?

    It already worked locally.
    Then I’ve changed this on httpd.conf,

    <Directory “d:/wamp/www”>
    AllowOverride All

    # onlineoffline tag – don’t remove
    # Order Deny,Allow
    # Deny from all
    # Allow from 127.0.0.1
    # Allow from ::1
    # Allow from localhost
    # Allow from 192.168.1.60
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>

    and,

    <Directory />
    AllowOverride none
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    </Directory>

    I’m listening on port 80.

    Then I went to my router configuration, to Virtual Servers (in TP-Link), and make everything on port 1234 go to port 80 on my local static ip address.
    So, https://<my-public-address&gt;:1234 goes to my server.

    Finally, I’ve changed the Site URL in WordPress to “https://<my-public-address&gt;:1234”

    Everything works, but I don’t know if it has strong vulnerabilities. That thing about tunneling a public port to my port 80.
