The nginx rce relied an a series of requirements that affect almost nobody. You had to be using a very specific module and processing a specific type of data reverse proxy was not affected.

But regardless I get your point that anything can have an RCE. However as you say at the end in principle that does not mean you should just give up and expect external projects to handle your security. VPN is a great way to access your services and it is good defense and depth, but for the sake of being a successful project to the masses? It's basically a dead end Road

I think that's why we should still have requirements against software we run (although as some funnily say, we are free to get a refund), but not pretend that the software is more secure than it is known to be. sad that we need a VPN for security, but it is what it is.

I don't know how could we get our devs to be more attentive to security.
