I’m also old and use iptables at server level as well.
But network perimeter here is the server perimeter, not the network (e.g. router).
Most ppl in my profession would not assume a host’s net controls as “network perimeter”, so I’m not sure what your context is there.
Just because you know how things work, doesnt mean everyone does.
Yeah, fair. But by the same token, we still have to chime in when these terms are thrown around and offered to newer homelabbers. And there is a lot of free security “advice” in these sub’s from folks who have a weak understanding of any of it.
