Port forwarding Mosquitto MQTT

[Acetyld (Dion)]

So i have portforwarded my Mosquitto MQTT Broker with a username & password. I see a lot of people saying this is not “safe” but i dont get why tbh.

yes anyone can post to it. But they need a password/username. And i am using the payed subscription for remote acces. I only got the mqtt port portforwarded?

Can you please specify which port did you forward? And what do you mean with payed subscription?

Because your user and password are probably in plain text.
