Can confirm this is a real issue - I ignored the warnings because I couldn't find any decent instructions on how to set up a VPN tunnel (and not knowledgeable about the difference between a commercial VPN provider, such as www.privateinternetaccess.com, which was the only type of VPN I knew about, and confused it with the type of VPN server you need for LMS, on your router for example, I am now using an Asus router with Merlin firmware VPN server, that you need to set up to access LMS remotely and securely). Setting up the VPN server takes five clicks on the router and then you download the OpenVPN Connect Android app on the remote device you wish to use - export an .ovpn configuration file from your router interface - import this into the Android device - and you're done. When I had port forwarding on I got hacked after about a month - woke up at 5am to the sounds of some sweet Cuban music :) - shut down everything - set up the VPN approach next day.
