Is it that bad? I mean, I am not much concerned myself as I would not leave the port open to anything but a small IP range, but I thought that the protocol was fine once a random long password is used.

Thanks, this is an excellent answer.
Yes, that's also my feeling at the moment. Not an option to move to Linux unfortunately (it's a Microsoft offering for academic staff). I was hoping for some fun suggestions, If nothing comes to mind it will just become the backup server of the backup server or just stay off and save electricity.
I totally agree. If I could choose, I would have preferred my seventh personal Linux server instead of a windows machine but that's what Microsoft offers to me. I fear that Docker, which I use all the times on Linux, would probably have too much overhead on windows. I still have to deal with a small size VPS. I have not many chances to run a Linux VM on top of windows to host docker and expect to have resources left to run a container with it in 1 GB of RAM.
I will defined look into IIS for web server/reverse proxy though. Thanks.
