Security sanity check on my home network before I host a public Minecraft server

[/u/PikoCute]

Hey, Im looking for anyone here with real experience running a Minecraft server publicly. Ideally someone who knows networking , security, basically someone who lives and breathe doing this. I am in my learning phase and would love to apply it on something fun like a Minecraft server.

What is concerning for me is the security and with my knowledge i currently have far from people who is in here. Im sure i can learn alot from feedback and suggestions. What is for sure is that, when it comes to security its always better to go overkill.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my current plan: (If you wonder why so many switches I need to run across my home)

Internet


VPS (Hardened, Proxy to hide origin IP, forward to server over a tunnel)


UCG Fiber 1 ---> Switch 1 ---> MC Server [DMZ]


Switch 2


UCG Fiber 2


Switch 3


Trusted LAN + Access Point

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would love to get this right before deciding on buying the gear to make my silly childhood server admin a reality.

Any input from anyone is appreciated and, if you are expert introduce yourself and a little background then share what do you suggest one making this even more secure.

thanks all.
