I think it offers not having to know enough about each of those pieces to pick one of each and set them up.
Under no circumstances should anyone have a device exposed to the Internet unless they have learned about all of those.
Isn't that the point of the new features? Now remote access can be had without directly exposing the device to the internet?
That is impossible. If you can log in it is exposed.
If you're using a Pi I don't see why you'd want to avoid learning Linux. Setting up and connecting to SSH servers is an essential skill for anybody doing anything on Linux that isn't purely desktop use.
While I generally agree that they should, I disagree that they should have to.
SSH and then some sort of VPN for remote terminal access isn't too bad.
It has been a decade or more since I tried setting up VNC, but I never could figure out how to connect to an existing X session. Has that setup gotten better?
Found the Zombie-bot rights supporter!
Hehe.
Won't this new service help avoid that for users who haven't figured out how to safely expose a system to the Internet?
There is no such "help". Either you learn what is going on and how to monitor or you are simply another easy target.
