Hi team! What's the best way to tighten networking around my Fleet host? I have it all open on 0.0.0.0 and allowing all ports which is ofcourse not ideal and I want to tighten it further but without breaking osquery <> fleet comms. What's the best way to do that?

You shouldn't need to worry about what ports are open for incoming traffic since all communication with the server is initiated on the host side.

what if an attacker decides to initite a comm on their host
are you suggesting just keeping 80 and 443 open on my Fleet server should do the trick and lock the rest down?

We've used a WAF and allowed only the paths needed for the osquery and fleet desktop endpoints to the world
Admin is restricted and of course with a waf you can block things like Tor nodes, known malicious IPs, etc

FYI most of these URL paths are out of date, and orbit no longer uses gRPC. However the concept is valid.
