I've got a question that I can't recall ever being addressed here.
Using https gets you encrypted/secure communication between your
users' browsers and your web server. But what do you all
typically do to secure communications between your web server and
your WO app instances, especially when those instances are
running on separate hardware? Do you have a private network
behind your web server (i.e. between your web server and your WO
servers)?
Most definitely, yes. Your webserver should be the only machine
visible to the outside. Everything else
should be behind a firewall and not reachable at all from the
outside.
Amen. Ports 80 and 443 are the only things open. And 22 if you
want ssh access.
You like to live dangerously huh Chuck?
