I can't imagine myself using this. One more port open, one more attack vector for those restless bots to scan for vulnerabilities, one more service I need to keep up-to-date. But I understand it would help Linux servers become more approachable, especially people that are switching away from PHP-based shared hosting to a full-featured VPS, don't have much knowledge about servers, and want something similar to cPanel or DirectAdmin.

You don't have to open up a port, you can use a VPN or SSH tunnel (I don't know what the difference is) instead.

With Cockpit Client this is not even required it will do the SSH magic for you.
